Nordic Pure 20x25x5HPCP-1 Merv 8 Carbon Furnace Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x25x5HPCP-1 is a pure carbon pleated furnace and air handler filter rated MERV 8, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media uses a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal to capture airborne particulates and neutralize odors including VOCs, pet odors, smoke, and cooking smells. The actual size is 19.88 x 24.88 x 4.38 inches, fitting nominal 20x25x5 filter housings. A metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats adds structural rigidity, and the moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape in high-humidity duct environments. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter in standard deep-media filter cabinets common in residential forced-air systems.

This filter fits nominal 20x25x5 deep-media housings found in residential forced-air furnace and air handler systems. It is compatible with Honeywell, Lennox, Carrier, and Bryant systems that accept this nominal filter size. It also functions as a pre-filter stage in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units where odor control is a priority. Because actual dimensions vary by manufacturer, always verify the housing accepts a filter with an actual depth of 4.38 inches before ordering. This single-pack format suits a single-unit replacement or a trial installation before stocking multiples.

Key Features

• MERV 8 efficiency rating captures pollen, pet dander, dust mites, lint, and household dust
• Activated charcoal-infused media neutralizes VOCs, pet odors, smoke, cooking smells, and bathroom odors
• Pleated design delivers three times the carbon media surface area compared to flat-panel carbon filters for improved odor absorption
• Metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats prevents media collapse under normal system static pressure
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame resists warping in humid duct conditions
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement deep-media filter for Honeywell, Lennox, Carrier, and Bryant systems using nominal 20x25x5 filter housings. Can also serve as a pre-filter in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units. Verify actual housing depth accepts 4.38 inches before installation, as nominal and actual dimensions vary across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional. Power down the air handler or furnace and set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Replace every 3 to 6 months for maximum odor control and filter efficiency, or more frequently during renovation work or high-dust periods.
