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. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fiber media to block dust and airborne particulate from entering the screw airend, protecting rotors, bearings and shaft seals from abrasive wear and extending compressor service life.
The 88171913 installs inside air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most frequently replaced wear parts in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an Ingersoll Rand intake filtration component, it is produced to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, with low initial pressure drop, straightforward installation and reliable sealing.

Standards referenced
- ISO 5011 — Inlet air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines and compressors: performance testing (efficiency and dust capacity)
- ISO 16890 / EN 779 — Classification of general ventilation air filters
- GB/T 14295 — Air filters
- GB/T 6165 — Test methods for air filter performance (efficiency and resistance)
Replacement Interval 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, mining): every 1,000–2,000 hours
- Replace immediately if visual inspection shows darkened media, heavy dust loading, or differential pressure reaching 600 Pa
Installation steps
- Shut down and isolate power: switch off the compressor and confirm the unit has fully stopped.
- Open the filter cover: release the clips or nuts on 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 face with a clean cloth. Never reverse-blow and reuse an old element.
- Inspect the new element: verify part number 88171913, check media for damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps and aged gaskets.
- Install the new element: slide it onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats evenly top and bottom without skew or twist.
- Refit the cover: reinstall the cover and tighten clips or nuts so there is no sealing gap.
- Start-up check: start the compressor and listen for air leaks at the filter housing; confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is 88171913 a genuine Ingersoll Rand part?
A: 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement part produced to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits air filter assembly 89243778.
Q2: Which compressors does 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 match it precisely.
Q3: What is the relationship between 88171913 and 89243778?
A: 88171913 is the filter element (consumable); 89243778 is the filter housing assembly (permanent). The element sits inside the housing and only the element is replaced.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) visual inspection shows darkened or heavily loaded media; (2) operating differential pressure reaches the 500 Pa alarm value; or (3) the 2,000–4,000 hour / 6–12 month interval is reached.
Q5: What happens if the element is left too dirty?
A: A clogged element restricts intake, reducing discharge volume and raising specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases dust enters the airend, wearing rotors and bearings and aging shaft seals, which can increase oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
