Nordic Pure 20x24x4PCP-2 Merv 8 Carbon Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x24x4PCP-2 is a pleated activated carbon air filter rated at MERV 8, sold in a 2-pack. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, engineered to capture airborne particulates while simultaneously absorbing odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The pleated construction delivers three times the carbon surface area of a flat-panel carbon filter while maintaining adequate airflow for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. A moisture-resistant beverage board frame and a bonded metal mesh support grid keep the pleats stable under normal operating static pressure. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance personnel install these filters in standard 20x24x4 filter housings.

This filter is appropriate for residential furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and as a pre-filter stage in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where odor control is a priority. Typical applications include homes or apartments with pets, cooking odors, or tobacco smoke, as well as light commercial spaces requiring VOC mitigation from cleaning products or industrial fumes. The manufacturer recommends a replacement interval of 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and particulate conditions in the space.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard residential and commercial HVAC filter housings requiring a 20x24x4 nominal size slot. Actual dimensions are 19.38 x 23.38 x 3.63 inches; verify the actual opening size of the filter rack before ordering to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance professional should install this filter. Power down or switch the system to off at the thermostat before opening the filter compartment to prevent unfiltered air bypass during changeout. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow in the system before seating the filter. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and applicable local codes for filter replacement intervals.
