Engine air intake reliability starts at the entry point of the pre-cleaner, where a plastic inlet hood channels and conditions incoming air. This durable, lightweight housing is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty operation, including high-volume dust environments and temperature fluctuations. Its dimensions—height 124 mm, hood diameter 11.50 in, and pipe outer diameter 115.30 mm—support a broad range of mating components while preserving a smooth flow path. By providing a clean, predictable entrance into the cleaning stage, the component reduces contaminants reaching the filter medium, contributing to longer filter life and more consistent performance under load. VMRS code 041-001-001 identifies its function in the inlet hood/pre-cleaner family, and category 71304 situates it within the same intake accessory segment. Practical applications span on- and off-highway trucks, vocational haulers, and construction equipment that operate in dusty conditions. Confirm compatibility with your system’s pipe OD and hood interface to ensure a secure, leak-free fit and reliable pre-cleaning performance.
