Ingersoll Rand Genuine OEM Breather Element Foam Filter (40068371)

Protect Your Compressor Crankcase and Maintain Optimal Operating Pressure

Fine workshop dust, ambient moisture, and airborne contaminants entering an air compressor's breather port can quickly degrade lubrication oil, clog internal valves, and cause premature pump wear. The genuine Ingersoll Rand Breather Element (Part # 40068371) provides factory-specified air filtration to regulate internal pressure balance while blocking abrasive particles from entering the compressor assembly. This item is 100% brand new, authentic, and factory sealed inside its original Ingersoll Rand branded polybag.

Manufactured in the United States from premium high-density reticulated foam, this OEM breather pad ensures uniform airflow and maximum particulate capture without restricting crankcase ventilation. Engineered specifically for demanding industrial environments, it directly replaces worn, saturated, or crumbling foam elements in compatible Ingersoll Rand and Doosan rotary screw and oil-free air compressor models. Routine replacement of this simple filtration element preserves air quality, maintains steady internal pressure, and helps avoid costly downtime.
