Baldwin Filters PA1749-FN Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1749-FN is a round automotive air filter element designed to remove airborne contaminants from intake air in vehicle and equipment air systems. Measuring 7-15/16 inches in outside diameter and 12-1/4 inches in overall length, this element uses securely affixed metal end caps to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks during operation. It ships with both an A gasket and an F gasket included, supporting correct seating at installation. Licensed technicians and fleet maintenance professionals install this part as a direct service replacement in heavy-duty or commercial vehicle air filtration systems.

This air filter element is suited for automotive and light to heavy-duty equipment applications where maintaining clean intake air is essential to engine performance and longevity. The round profile and dual-gasket inclusion make it appropriate for filter housings that require a reliable radial or end-face seal. It is installed as part of scheduled preventive maintenance or when restricted airflow or elevated restriction indicators signal a clogged element. Technicians servicing trucks, construction equipment, or fleet vehicles will encounter this element in primary or secondary air filter positions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a diesel technician or fleet maintenance professional. Before servicing the air filter housing, shut down the engine and allow it to cool. Inspect the housing sealing surfaces for debris or damage before seating the new element and gaskets. Do not operate the system with a missing or improperly seated gasket, as unfiltered air bypassing the element can cause rapid engine wear.
