Abatement Technologies VL1002 VAPOR-LOCK Carbon Filter – MERV 7, Pleated, UL900

Abatement VL1002 VAPOR-LOCK Third-Stage Carbon Filter — Pleated Carbon for Odor Control

The VL1002 is a pleated activated carbon third-stage filter engineered for Abatement Technologies air scrubbers. Carbon web media adsorbs volatile organic compounds and odors that bypass HEPA particulate stages, and the MERV 7 rating limits airflow restriction so scrubber output remains at rated capacity throughout the filter's service life.

VL1002 Construction Details and Safety Ratings

• Pleated carbon web media — more adsorption surface than flat-sheet carbon pads for extended service between replacements.
• MERV 7 efficiency — 50%+ particle capture at 3–10 microns; low pressure drop preserves scrubber airflow.
• UL900 flammability certified — Class 2 rating for safe deployment in commercial and healthcare buildings.
• Die-cut beverage board frame — rigid frame prevents collapse and air bypass under sustained airflow.
• No gasket required — drop-in installation in compatible Abatement air scrubber third-stage slots.

Project Types That Require Carbon-Stage Filtration

Fire restoration contractors add the VL1002 to air scrubbers deployed in smoke-damaged structures to capture benzene, acrolein, and soot-associated VOCs before discharging treated air into adjacent habitable spaces. Mold remediation projects in occupied multi-family buildings specify carbon stages to prevent musty odor migration through temporary containment barriers. Chemical abatement crews removing adhesives, sealants, and coatings rely on carbon filtration to protect workers in adjacent areas from solvent off-gassing. The VL1002 fits downstream of the HEPA module in compatible Abatement units without modification.

Part Number and Replacement Notes

Part number VL1002. Confirm your Abatement scrubber model accepts third-stage filter modules before ordering. Replace when odor breakthrough is detected or per Abatement's maintenance schedule.
