Baldwin Filters PA1885 Automotive Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1885 is a replacement air filter element designed for heavy-duty automotive and industrial applications. It measures 11.13 inches in outside diameter and 16.5 inches in overall length, making it a direct-fit element for equipment where the original filter housing is retained. Supplied as an element-only design, this part replaces the inner filtration media without requiring full assembly replacement. Weighing 7.4 pounds, it is sized for larger engines typically found in commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. Installation is handled by diesel technicians and fleet maintenance professionals.

This filter element is suited for heavy-duty gasoline and diesel engine applications across commercial trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. It is used in systems where high airflow capacity and consistent filtration efficiency are required. The element-only format is common in fleet and OEM service environments where the outer canister or housing is reused between service intervals. Compatible equipment spans multiple OEM lines including Caterpillar, Cummins, Case, and John Deere platforms.
