Nordic Pure 16x25x5HPCP-1 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x5HPCP-1 is a Pure Carbon pleated furnace and air handler filter rated MERV 8, designed to capture airborne particles while actively reducing household odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived activated charcoal, delivering approximately three times the carbon surface area of a standard pleated filter in the same footprint. The nominal size is 16x25x5 inches with an actual size of 15.75 x 24.75 x 4.38 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and service contractors install this filter in deep-media housings common to residential forced-air systems.

This filter fits deep-media filter housings that accept a nominal 16x25x5 size, which is a common housing dimension found in residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air systems manufactured by Honeywell, Lennox, Carrier, and Bryant, among others. It is suited to residential single-family and apartment applications where odor control from pets, cooking, smoke, or cleaning chemicals is a priority. It also functions as a pre-filter stage in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where strong odor loads are present. Filter replacement is recommended every 3 to 6 months for sustained odor control and airflow performance.

Key Features

• Activated charcoal-infused polyester media captures odors, VOCs, pollen, pet dander, and dust mites
• Approximately MERV 8 efficiency rating for reliable particle capture in residential systems
• Three times the carbon media compared to standard pleated filters for enhanced odor absorption
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support
• Suitable as a standalone residential filter or pre-filter in commercial HVAC applications
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement deep-media filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems using a nominal 16x25x5 housing, including systems manufactured by Honeywell, Lennox, Carrier, and Bryant. Always verify the actual opening dimensions of the filter housing before ordering, as actual filter size is 15.75 x 24.75 x 4.38 inches, not the full nominal 5-inch depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always shut down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Because actual depths vary among deep-media housings, measure the existing filter or the housing slot before ordering to confirm the 4.38-inch actual depth is the correct fit.
