Product Overview
88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand air intake filter element designed specifically for the UP5-11C-8 series small screw air compressor. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fiber media to block dust and particulate matter from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings, and shaft seals from wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 element installs inside 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.

- Shelf Life: 36 months in original sealed packaging, dry, ambient temperature
Standards
- ISO 5011 — Inlet air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines and compressors: performance testing (efficiency and dust capacity)
- ISO 16890 / EN 779 — Air filters for general ventilation: classification
- GB/T 14295 — Air filters
- GB/T 6165 — Test methods for air filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Maintenance and Installation
Replacement Intervals
- 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 differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and disconnect power. Confirm the compressor has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover. Release the latches 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 gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing. Wipe the housing interior and sealing surface 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 gasket for aging.
- Install the new element. Slide it onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats correctly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover. Replace 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 Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, designed for filter housing assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 88171913 fit?
A: It 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 fits inside the housing and is replaced without changing the housing.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when any of these occur: (1) visual inspection shows dark or heavily loaded media; (2) operating differential pressure reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; (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 raising specific power consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal aging, which can increase oil carryover or even lead to airend failure.
