Nordic Pure 18x30x1PM8C-2 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x30x1PM8C-2 is a MERV 8 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 2-pack, sized nominally at 18x30x1 inches with an actual size of 17.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches. The filter combines a MERV-rated pleated media fused with an activated carbon layer, delivering dual-action filtration that captures airborne particulates while adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The expanded surface area reduces flow restriction compared to standard single-media filters. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals install these filters in residential and light-commercial forced-air systems as a routine replacement interval item.

This filter is suited for residential and light-commercial HVAC applications where odor control is a priority alongside particulate capture. Typical use cases include homes with pets, cooking odors, or occupants with allergy sensitivities. The MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for standard residential furnaces and air handlers where higher-MERV filters might restrict airflow beyond equipment design limits. The 2-pack format supports a 30-to-90-day replacement cycle. Nordic Pure rates this filter as equivalent to MPR 800 filters from other manufacturers.

Key Features

• Dual-layer construction fuses MERV 8 pleated media with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Activated carbon adsorbs VOCs, smoke particles, pet odors, and cooking smells with each air pass
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to attract and retain dust, pollen, and fine particles
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a MERV 8 OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and HVAC systems with a nominal 18x30x1-inch filter slot. Verify the actual filter opening dimensions against the actual size of 17.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified building maintenance staff. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and install the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and usage intensity.
