Nordic Pure 20x20x1PM8C-6 Merv 8 Plus Carbon Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x20x1PM8C-6 is a MERV 8 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 6-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including furnaces and central air conditioning units. The filter uses a dual-layer construction that fuses a MERV 8-rated electrostatic pleated media with an activated carbon layer. This design reduces flow restriction compared to standard carbon filters while providing 33% more surface area. The activated carbon layer attracts and holds odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while the pleated electrostatic media captures airborne particulate matter. Each filter measures 19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches actual size with a nominal size of 20x20x1.

This filter is suited for residential homes and light commercial spaces where both particulate capture and odor control are priorities. It handles common airborne contaminants including lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria. The activated carbon layer makes it especially practical in homes with pets, cooking odors, or smoke. HVAC technicians, building maintenance staff, and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine replacement in forced-air heating and cooling systems. Nordic Pure recommends changing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, and more frequently during home renovation work.

• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs while maintaining airflow
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support
• Made in the USA; equivalent to MPR 800 rated filters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems that accept a nominal 20x20x1 filter. Verify the actual opening dimensions against the actual size of 19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance professional should shut off the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect switch or breaker before servicing the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Standard hand tools are sufficient for filter access panels. Replace the filter every 30 to 90 days under normal operating conditions, or more frequently in high-dust or renovation environments.
