Product Overview
The 88171913 air filter element is a genuine Ingersoll Rand intake filter element designed for the UP5-11C-8 series small screw air compressors. Its high-efficiency synthetic media blocks dust and airborne particles from entering the airend, protecting rotors, bearings and shaft seals from wear and helping extend compressor service life.
The 88171913 element installs inside the air filter housing assembly 89243778 and is one of the most frequently replaced maintenance items on the UP5-11C-8. As an original Ingersoll Rand intake filtration part, 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, mining): every 1,000–2,000 hours
- Replace immediately if visual inspection shows darkening, heavy dust buildup, or differential pressure reaches 600 Pa
Installation Steps
- Shut down and isolate power: turn 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 center gasket remains in the housing groove.
- Clean the housing: wipe the inner walls and sealing surfaces with a clean cloth. Never blow out and reuse an old element.
- Inspect the new element: verify part number 88171913, check for media damage, pleat deformation, cracked end caps or aged gaskets.
- Install the new element: slide it onto the center stud, ensuring the gasket seats evenly top and bottom without tilting or twisting.
- Refit the cover: replace the cover and secure clips or nuts with no gaps in the seal.
- Start-up check: start the compressor and listen for air leaks around the filter housing.
FAQ
Q1: Is 88171913 a genuine original part?
A: Yes, 88171913 is a genuine Ingersoll Rand part manufactured to Ingersoll Rand global technical standards and fits 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: (1) visual inspection shows darkening or heavy dust; (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 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 seal aging, which can raise oil carryover and even lead to airend failure.
