TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Install a media cabinet capable
of incorporating a 4- -in (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows
room for future upgrades to other IAQ devices.
Filter and Return Duct Sizing
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters, filter
racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See Table 5
for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to
airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media types and sizes.
These are representative numbers. Consult the filter or IAQ device
manufacturers' specification sheet for performance data for a
particular filter media or IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of
pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter
systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. W.C. (50 Pa), with the
best blower electrical efficiency and system airflow performance
occurring with filter pressure drops under 0.1 in. W.C. (25 Pa).
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1- -in. (25 mm) thick
after- -market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration
system be designed for at least 2- -in. (51 mm) thick media.

See manufacturers' specifications for pressure drop versus airflow data for specific filter media.
If the filter size that you are looking for is not contained in Table 5, refer to 6 for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean
resistance to airflow) versus Face Velocity for a variety of filter media types.

NOTICE
Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much
pressure drop may be allowed in the filter system. See the Air
Ducts section. Excessive
compromises system airflow and duct performance, causes
inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the duct system, as
well as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated
electrical consumption.
Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition airflow
from the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device) to the
furnace when the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace return air
opening do not match the required filter or IAQ device dimensions.
See the instructions supplied with factory- -accessory duct adapters.
