Nordic Pure 18x24x4PCP-2 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x24x4PCP-2 is a pleated activated carbon air filter rated at MERV 8 efficiency, sold in a 2-pack. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, designed to capture airborne particulates while simultaneously neutralizing odors and reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The nominal size is 18x24x4 inches with an actual size of 17.5 x 23.38 x 3.63 inches. A heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame and a bonded metal mesh support grid keep the pleats stable under airflow. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals typically source this filter for residential and light commercial air handling systems.

This filter is appropriate for residential forced-air furnaces and air handlers as a standalone filtration solution. It is also suitable as a pre-filter in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where odor load is a concern. Common applications include homes or apartments with pets, smokers, or cooking odors, as well as light industrial or office environments dealing with chemical off-gassing from cleaning products or renovation materials. The manufacturer recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days for maximum odor control, and more frequently during active home improvement work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and HVAC systems that accept a 18x24x4 nominal filter slot. Actual installed dimensions are 17.5 x 23.38 x 3.63 inches; verify the actual opening size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. This filter installs without tools in standard filter tracks or media cabinets sized for a nominal 18x24x4 slot. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates and odors.
