Nordic Pure 20x25x4PM12C-2 Pleated Carbon Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x25x4PM12C-2 is a MERV 12 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 2-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media fuses a MERV 12 rated pleated layer with an activated carbon layer, delivering dual-stage filtration that captures airborne particulates and adsorbs odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a single pass. The nominal size is 20x25x4 inches with an actual size of 19.5 x 24.5 x 3.63 inches. The heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame includes a bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified installers handle this filter as a routine maintenance replacement.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential homes and light commercial spaces where odor control and high particulate capture are both priorities. It targets environments with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or recent home renovation activity. The 33 percent greater surface area compared to standard pleated media reduces airflow restriction while increasing contaminant contact. At MERV 12 performance, the filter captures more than 90 percent of 3.0-10.0 micron particles and up to 90 percent of 1.0-3.0 micron particles, making it effective against pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, bacteria, and virus carriers.

Key Features

• MERV 12 rated media captures particles from 1.0 to 10.0 microns including pollen, dust mites, mold spores, smoke, and pet dander
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odors and VOCs without significantly restricting airflow
• Dual-layer construction provides 33 percent more surface area than standard single-media pleated filters
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and electrostatic filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for added durability
• Made in the USA; MERV 12 performance is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 20x25x4 nominal replacement filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems accepting a 20x25x4 nominal filter slot. Actual installed dimensions are 19.5 x 24.5 x 3.63 inches - verify your filter slot accepts this actual depth before ordering. Note: if replacing a Honeywell or Lennox 20x25x4 unit filter with an actual depth of 4.375 inches, order the 20x25x5 variant instead.

Installation Notes

Replacement of this filter is a routine HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before removing the old filter and installing the new one. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the blower before seating the filter. Nordic Pure recommends changing this filter every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently in high-dust or high-use environments.
