Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter element engineered for the UP5-11C-8 series rotary screw air compressor. Its high-efficiency synthetic fiber media captures airborne dust and particulates before they reach the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings, and shaft seals from abrasive wear.
The 88171913 is installed inside air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most frequently replaced maintenance parts on the UP5-11C-8. As an OEM intake filtration component, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and offers low initial resistance, straightforward installation, and reliable sealing.

Maintenance & Installation
Replacement Interval
- Standard conditions: every 2,000–4,000 hours or 6–12 months, whichever comes first
- High-dust conditions (construction sites, woodworking shops, mines): every 1,000–2,000 hours
- Replace immediately if the media appears blackened or heavily loaded, or if differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and isolate power: Turn off the compressor and confirm the unit has come to a complete stop.
- Open the filter housing: Release the end-cover clips or nuts on housing assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the center seal remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not reverse-blow and reuse the old element.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913, check media for damage, pleats for deformation, end caps for cracks, and seal for aging.
- Install the new element: Slide the new element onto the center stud, ensuring the seal seats evenly on both sides without distortion.
- Refit the cover: Reinstall the cover and secure clips or nuts to ensure a gap-free seal.
- Start-up check: Start the compressor, listen for air leaks at the filter housing, and confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is the 88171913 a genuine Ingersoll Rand part?
A: Yes. The 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and designed for housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does the 88171913 fit?
A: It is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small rotary screw compressor. If you are unsure about your model, provide the machine serial number and we will confirm the correct match.
Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the air filter element (consumable). 89243778 is the air filter housing assembly (permanent component). The element is installed inside the housing; the housing does not need to be replaced when changing the element.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) the media appears blackened or heavily loaded on visual inspection; (2) operating differential pressure reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; or (3) the 2,000–4,000 hour or 6–12 month service interval is reached.
Q5: What happens if the air filter element is too dirty?
A: A clogged element restricts intake air, reducing discharge volume and increasing specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear, seal aging, higher oil carryover, and potential airend failure.
