It's the middle-of-the-road choice most HVAC technicians recommend for a typical single-stage or two-stage system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size: 16-1\/2 x 17-1\/2 x 1″\u003c\/li\u003e\n
