Nordic Pure 18x24x1PCP-2 Pure Carbon Filter Merv 8 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x24x1PCP-2 is a pleated pure carbon air filter designed for odor reduction and particulate capture in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media consists of a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, delivering approximately MERV 8 filtration efficiency. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame provides structural integrity, while a bonded metal mesh support grid reinforces the pleats under airflow. Each package contains 2 filters with a nominal size of 18x24x1 inches and an actual size of 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals install these filters as part of routine service.

This filter is suited for residential applications including single-family homes and apartments where pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, or chemical VOCs from cleaning products are a concern. It also functions as a pre-filter in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where strong odor loads are present. The activated carbon media targets Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) alongside common airborne particles. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and usage environment. Actual size is 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches - verify your filter slot dimensions before ordering.

Compatibility

Designed for standard 18x24x1 inch filter slots in residential furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and air handlers. Actual dimensions are 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. Measure the existing filter slot before installation to confirm fit, as nominal and actual sizes differ across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before servicing the filter. Confirm airflow direction marked on the filter frame matches the direction of airflow in the unit before seating the filter. Filters should be replaced every 30 to 90 days; higher odor loads or continuous system operation will shorten service intervals. Disposal of used carbon filters should follow local waste handling guidelines, particularly in commercial environments where VOC loading may be elevated.
