Nordic Pure 18x24x1PM12C-24 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 24PK

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x24x1PM12C-24 is a pleated MERV 12 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 24-pack. It is designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The dual-layer construction fuses MERV 12 filtration media with activated carbon, delivering both mechanical particulate capture and odor reduction in a single filter. The nominal size is 18x24x1 inches with an actual size of 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement.

This filter suits residential and light-commercial applications where both high particulate filtration and volatile organic compound (VOC) or odor control are required. Typical installations include forced-air gas furnaces, heat pumps, and split-system air handlers with a standard 1-inch filter slot. The MERV 12 rating makes it appropriate for households dealing with pet dander, pollen, mold spores, dust mites, smoke particles, and fine airborne debris. The activated carbon layer addresses cooking odors, pet odors, and other gaseous contaminants. Manufacturer guidance recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1-inch HVAC filter slots accepting a nominal 18x24x1 inch filter in residential forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems. Verify actual slot dimensions against the actual size of 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches before ordering, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified homeowners. Always set the thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler blower has stopped before removing the old filter. Install the replacement filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower motor and away from the return air duct. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain trapped particulate.
