Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter designed for the UP5-11C-8 series rotary screw air compressor. It uses high-efficiency synthetic fibre media to block dust and particulate matter from entering the airend, protecting rotors, bearings and shaft 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 consumables in routine UP5-11C-8 maintenance. As an original intake filtration part, it is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards, offering low initial resistance, straightforward installation and reliable sealing.

- GB/T 14295 — Air filters
- GB/T 6165 — Test methods for air filters: 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 the media is visibly blackened, heavily loaded with dust, or differential pressure reaches 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 housing assembly 89243778 and remove the cover.
- Remove the old element: pull out the old 88171913 element and check whether the centre gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: wipe the inner wall and sealing face with a clean cloth. Never reverse-blow an old element with compressed air and reuse it.
- Inspect the new element: verify part number 88171913, check media for damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps and ageing gaskets.
- Install the new element: slide it onto the centre stud, ensuring the gasket seats evenly top and bottom without skewing or twisting.
- Refit the cover: replace the cover, secure clips or tighten nuts to achieve a gap-free seal.
- Start-up check: start the compressor, listen for air leaks at the filter and confirm normal operation.
FAQ
Q1: Is the 88171913 a genuine part?
A: The 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits 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 compressor serial number and we will match it for you.
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 replacing.
Q4: How do I know when to replace the air filter element?
A: Replace when: (1) the media is visibly blackened or heavily dust-loaded; (2) operating differential pressure 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 filter is too dirty?
A: A clogged element restricts intake air, reducing discharge volume and raising specific power and energy consumption. In severe cases, dust enters the airend, causing rotor and bearing wear and seal ageing, which can increase oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
