Nordic Pure 16x25x5ABPCP-2 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x5ABPCP-2 is a carbon-infused pleated furnace filter rated MERV 8, designed to reduce airborne odors and capture common household contaminants in residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. Each filter uses activated carbon media to address VOCs and odors alongside standard particulate filtration. The actual size measures 15.63 x 24.13 x 4.88 inches, making it a direct-fit replacement for Air Bear media cabinet filters. This two-pack is manufactured in the USA with a moisture-resistant beverage board frame, foam tape edge seals on two sides, and a metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats for structural integrity during airflow.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems using 5-inch media cabinets, including Air Bear and compatible whole-house filter housings. The 4 7/8-inch actual depth fits the nominal 16x25x5 Air Bear cabinet slot. It is well-suited for apartments, occupied homes with pets or smokers, and light-industrial pre-filter applications where odor control is a priority alongside particulate removal. HVAC technicians and service pros should verify the actual filter-slot dimensions before installation, as nominal and actual sizes vary by cabinet manufacturer.

Key Features

• MERV 8 efficiency rating captures pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, and smoke particles
• Activated carbon media targets odors and VOCs for improved indoor air quality
• Three times the carbon media volume compared to standard carbon-layer filters for stronger odor absorption
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame with dual foam-tape edge seals reduces air bypass
• Metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats maintains media structure under system static pressure
• Made in the USA - two filters per box

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for Air Bear media cabinet filters using the nominal 16x25x5 slot, comparable to filters rated at approximately MPR 600. Actual filter dimensions are 15.63 x 24.13 x 4.88 inches. Verify your cabinet's actual slot depth before ordering, as Air Bear and similar 5-inch cabinets can vary between manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before opening the filter cabinet. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow before seating the filter. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 3 to 6 months depending on environmental conditions such as pet occupancy, renovation activity, or heavy odor loads.
