Baldwin Filters RS5517 Air Filter Element 6.5in Od 14in

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS RS5517 is a radial air filter element designed to remove airborne dirt and contaminants from engine intake air in heavy-duty equipment applications. Measuring 6.5 inches in outside diameter and 14.031 inches in overall length, this element uses a urethane compound molded end construction that ensures a reliable seal and simplifies service intervals. Licensed technicians and fleet maintenance professionals install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance to protect engines from particulate ingestion and premature wear.

This air filter element is suited for heavy-duty equipment operating in demanding environments where consistent filtration performance is critical. Its radial design accommodates standard canister-style housings and is appropriate for off-road machinery, construction equipment, and similar applications where engine protection and extended service life are priorities. The cost-effective design reduces total maintenance cost without sacrificing filtration performance.
