Baldwin Filters PA2445 Air Filter Element 13-7/8 in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA2445 is a round air filter element designed for automotive and heavy-equipment air intake systems. It measures 13.875 inches in outside diameter and 9.5 inches in overall length, with an inside diameter of 7.4375 inches. The element uses securely affixed metal end caps to ensure a proper seal and prevent bypass of airborne contaminants. A gasket and G103-N F gasket are included to support leak-free installation. This filter is installed by diesel technicians, fleet mechanics, and heavy-equipment service professionals as part of routine air intake maintenance.

The PA2445 is suited for automotive and heavy-duty equipment applications where a large-diameter, round air filter element is required. It cross-references to a wide range of OEM and aftermarket part numbers, making it a practical replacement option for equipment originally fitted with ACDelco A878C, Case A76855, Caterpillar 3I0184, Donaldson P184094, Fleetguard AF1633, Fram CA2581, GMC 25042127, Hastings PA2445, Purolator AF3159, or Wix 542622 filter elements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified diesel or fleet mechanics as part of scheduled air intake service. Before servicing, shut down the engine and allow it to cool. Inspect the air filter housing and sealing surfaces for cracks or debris before installing the new element. Confirm the included gasket is properly seated to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
