It handles the airborne particles most occupants actually notice — dust, pollen, pet dander — while keeping static pressure in a range every standard system can tolerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size: 21-1\/8 x 26-1\/8 x 1″\u003c\/li\u003e\n
