Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed for the UP5-11C-8 series small screw air compressors. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fiber media to block 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 is installed inside the air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most critical consumable parts in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an original Ingersoll Rand intake filtration component, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, offering low initial resistance, easy installation, and reliable sealing.

- GB/T 14295: Air filters
- GB/T 6165: Test methods for air filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Maintenance and 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 visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media, or if pressure drop reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and disconnect power: Turn off the compressor and confirm it has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: Release the latches or nuts on housing 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: Pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the center gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: Wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not blow out and reuse old elements with compressed air.
- Inspect the new element: Verify part number 88171913; check media for damage, pleats for deformation, end caps for cracks, and gasket for aging.
- Install the new element: Slide the new element onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skew or twist.
- Reinstall the cover: Refit the cover and tighten latches 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 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: Yes, 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, designed for housing 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: 88171913 is designed for the Ingersoll Rand UP5-11C-8 small screw compressor. If you are unsure about your model, provide the machine serial number and we will match it precisely.
Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the air filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the filter housing assembly (permanent part). The element is installed inside the housing and only the element needs replacement.
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 500 Pa alarm value; or (3) the 2,000–4,000 hour or 6–12 month 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 and oil seal aging, leading to higher oil carryover or even airend failure.
