Nordic Pure 20x22x1M14+C-12 Merv 14 Carbon Air Filter 12pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x22x1M14+C-12 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The electrostatically charged synthetic filter media captures fine airborne particulates while the activated carbon panel adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Each box contains 12 filters at a nominal size of 20x22x1 inches (actual size: 19.5 x 21.44 x 0.75 inches). A metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats adds structural rigidity, and the beverage board frame is moisture resistant for extended service life. MERV 14 filtration is suited to high-efficiency HVAC equipment rated to handle elevated static pressure from high-MERV media.

This filter is appropriate for residential forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems where both fine particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Typical applications include homes with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or occupants sensitive to VOCs and airborne chemicals. The dual-stage design eliminates the need for a separate carbon pre-filter in compatible systems. Nordic Pure recommends filter replacement every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system runtime. The antimicrobial media inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria within the filter itself, supporting cleaner system internals between service intervals.

Key Features

• MERV 14 electrostatic pleated media captures dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, dust mite debris, smog, and bacteria
• Activated carbon infused flat panel adsorbs VOCs, odors, and airborne gases with each air pass
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media resists mold and bacterial growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with internal metal mesh pleat support
• Equivalent to MPR 2800 rated filters
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems with a 20x22x1 inch nominal filter slot. HVAC systems must be rated to operate with MERV 14 or higher filtration media due to the increased static pressure of high-efficiency filters.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always switch the system to the off position at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Verify the actual slot opening measurement against the filter actual size (19.5 x 21.44 x 0.75 inches) before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.
