Nordic Pure 16x28x6ASGM10+C-1 Merv 10 Carbon Air Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x28x6ASGM10+C-1 is a pleated, activated-carbon air filter rated MERV 10, designed as a direct replacement for the Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 whole-house air cleaner. The filter uses a dual-layer construction: a MERV 10 electrostatically charged filtration layer fused with an activated carbon layer. The carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the pleated media captures particulate matter. The result is 33 percent more surface area compared to standard single-layer designs, which reduces airflow restriction and extends service life. Licensed HVAC technicians and skilled homeowners performing filter maintenance install this unit.

This filter is sized for whole-house media air cleaners, specifically the Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 system using OEM Part 401. The actual dimensions are 15.44 x 26.94 x 6 inches, which differ from the nominal 16 x 28 x 6 inch label size. Verifying actual cabinet dimensions before installation is recommended, as nominal sizing across filter brands rarely matches exactly. The filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where odor control and mid-range particulate filtration are both required.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating captures lint, dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, and virus carriers
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs and household odors without significantly increasing static pressure drop
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a passive particle magnet with no external power required
• Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with an internal metal mesh grid bonded to the pleats for structural support
• Made in the USA; equivalent to MPR 1000 in comparative filter rating systems

Compatibility

Direct replacement for the Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 whole-house media air cleaner, replacing OEM Part 401. Nominal size 16 x 28 x 6 inches; actual size 15.44 x 26.94 x 6 inches. Confirm cabinet clearance against actual dimensions before ordering.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or a knowledgeable homeowner during routine system maintenance. Always set the thermostat to off and shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before opening the media cabinet. Slide the old filter out, note the airflow direction arrow on the frame, and insert the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 3 to 6 months depending on indoor air quality conditions, occupancy, and the presence of pets or active construction.
