Nordic Pure 16x25x3ABPCP-7 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8 7 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x3ABPCP-7 is a pure carbon pleated air filter rated MERV 8, sold in a 7-pack, designed for forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 16x25x3 nominal filter slot. The filter media is electrostatically charged synthetic material that captures airborne particulates while the embedded activated carbon layer targets odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The actual size is 15.81 x 24.31 x 3 inches - note that the depth of 3 inches is exact nominal-to-actual, which is specific to this Air Bear Cub replacement format. The beverage board frame is moisture-resistant, reinforced with a metal mesh support grid, and includes two foam tape strips on two sides for a snug fit. HVAC technicians and service pros handling routine filter maintenance will find the 7-pack format practical for scheduled replacements.

This filter is intended for residential and light commercial applications where odor control is a priority alongside particle filtration - apartments, offices, and light industrial environments using HVAC systems as a pre-filter stage. It is a direct replacement for the Trion Air Bear Cub filter, superseding OEM part number 259112-101. At approximately MERV 8 efficiency, it captures common residential contaminants including lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke particles, mold spores, and virus carriers. The manufacturer recommends a replacement interval of 3 to 6 months depending on environment and usage conditions.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel as part of routine preventive maintenance. Set the system to off before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating during the swap. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter accordingly. The foam tape strips on the frame edges are designed to create a seal against the filter rack - ensure the frame seats fully before closing the cabinet door.
