Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed for UP5-11C-8 series small screw air compressors. Using high-efficiency synthetic fiber media, it blocks dust, dirt, and particulate matter from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings, and oil seals from wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 installs inside the air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most critical consumables in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an original Ingersoll Rand intake filtration part, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, offering low initial resistance, easy installation, and reliable sealing.

- GB/T 6165: Test methods for air filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Maintenance and Installation
Replacement Interval
- Standard conditions: every 2000–4000 hours or 6–12 months, whichever comes first
- High-dust conditions (construction sites, woodworking shops, mines, etc.): every 1000–2000 hours
- Replace immediately if visual inspection shows dark media, heavy dust accumulation, or if pressure drop reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and disconnect power: Turn off the compressor and confirm complete stop.
- Open the filter cover: Release the latches or nuts on housing 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check that the center seal is not left in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth. Never reverse-blow and reuse an old element.
- Inspect new element: Verify part number 88171913; check for media damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps, or deteriorated seals.
- Install new element: Slide the new element onto the center stud, ensuring the seal seats correctly without skewing or twisting.
- Reassemble cover: Refit the cover and secure latches or nuts to ensure a gap-free seal.
- Start-up check: Start the compressor and listen for air leaks at the filter housing; confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: Yes, 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to global technical standards, designed for housing 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: It is specifically designed for Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small screw compressors. If unsure, provide your machine serial number for precise matching.
Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the air filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the filter housing assembly (permanent). The element fits inside the housing; the housing does not need replacement when changing the element.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media; (2) operating pressure drop reaches the alarm value of 500 Pa; (3) the 2000–4000 hour or 6–12 month interval is reached.
Q5: What happens if the air filter element is too dirty?
A: A clogged element reduces intake air, lowers discharge volume, increases specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear, oil seal aging, higher oil carryover, and potential airend failure.
