Control-A-Flow® Draft
Eliminator
Features & Benefits
Control-A-Flow® Draft
Eliminator with or without Anti-microbial Filter is a personal
office air deflector that re-directs air from the overhead A/C or
heating vents to follow the ceiling line, rather than blowing down
onto employee's heads. Two 32" x 1˝" rails clip onto the drop
ceiling T-bar. The filters fit into a bracket built into the
clip and rests up against the supply diffuser. The deflector panels
rest on the bottom lip of the rails. The rails also have ˝" by 8"
holes in them, with adjustable cover plates that can expose or cover
the holes, allowing for more air direction options.
Draft Elimination
- Health: Cold drafts can cause illnesses,
leading to costly sick time off.
- Productivity: Improves employee productivity
by eliminating warming up breaks and squabbles with other
employees about the thermostat settings.
- Balance: For compressor systems, preserves
the air volume circulating throughout the room, while maintaining
the balance of the ventilation system, without creating
backpressure.
- Unobtrusive: With the rail color matching the
T-bars, combined with the translucent panels, Control-A-Flow®
blends into the ceiling.
- Light: The entire unit weighs less than 2
lbs.
- Adjustable: Using the included
"Adjusting Wand" the panels and rail cover plates
can be adjusted to redirect the air in 2, 3, 4 or even 5
directions at once, while easily and safely standing on the floor.
- Installation: The rails clip onto the
existing T-bar and hangs below the ceiling line by only 1˝".
Requiring no tools, it can be installed in less than 2 minutes.
- Versatile: Can be relocated to another area
quickly and easily. Works great in laboratories to keep air
from affecting scales and experiments.
Filtration
The filters are made of a multi-density Dacron fiber
that creates one of the thinnest filters available, while boasting
over an 85% efficiency rating for particles 2 microns or
larger. The filter is treated with EPA registered Dow Corning
AEGIS anti-microbial treatment, which chemically
bonds to the filter to virtually destroy bacteria and other
microorganisms on contact, reducing airborne microorganisms by up to
86.5% in one pass, as certified by Air Filter Test Laboratory, and
it will not off-gas into the air stream. The filters last
approximately 4-8 months and are quickly, easily and inexpensively
replaced.
- Reduces Illness & Allergies: By filtering
out particles as small as ˝ micron, allergic reactions to pollens,
dust, rust, dust mites, Volatile Organic Compounds and other
airborne contaminants can be reduced or eliminated.
- Pays for Itself: Less sick time, increased
productivity and morale add up to higher profits. Saves
energy by eliminating space heaters under desks.
- Filters Economically Replaced: The
filters last 4-8 months and replacement is a snap. Just
insert the re-usable metal frame into the new filter sleeve,
secure end-cap and place back into the Control-A-Flow®.
- Happy Ending: The employees are satisfied and
the maintenance department is happy that those nagging complaints
are finally eliminated.

Left to Right: A contaminated duct system.
What's in that duct? An airborne Streptococcus Bacteria
(strep), the next image contains fungi, insect feces, mold,
dust particles, hair and a dust mite, and the last image
shows weed and pollen.
These and thousands more potential illness
producing contaminates can be destroyed or removed with our
filter.
