Nordic Pure 17x20x1CustomM12+C-6 Merv 12 Carbon Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 17x20x1CustomM12+C-6 is a custom-cut, MERV 12 pleated air filter with activated carbon, sized at a nominal 17x20x1 inches with an actual size of 16.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. Sold in a 6-pack, this filter is constructed from electrostatically charged synthetic media combined with a carbon layer to capture airborne particulates and reduce odors in a single pass. It is designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems and is installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance personnel. The reinforced 2-part frame is built to maintain structural integrity over the full filter service life.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems where a nominal 17x20x1 slot is specified. The custom dimensions make it appropriate for applications where standard off-the-shelf sizes do not fit the filter rack. It is commonly used in residential furnaces, split-system air handlers, and package units. The carbon layer provides additional odor control beyond what a standard pleated filter delivers, making it a practical choice for households with pets, cooking odors, or light smoke exposure.

Compatibility

Custom-made to fit HVAC filter slots requiring a nominal 17x20x1 inch filter. Because this is a custom size, verify the actual opening dimensions before ordering. Standard-size filters will not substitute if the rack requires these specific dimensions.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and qualified service personnel should install this filter. Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before opening the air handler or furnace cabinet and removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the system before securing the panel. Nordic Pure recommends changing this filter every 30-90 days depending on environmental conditions and system usage.
