Design features
- Closed bottom (D = 0 mm) — the element has no through-hole at the bottom, which determines the type of filter housing it fits (a dead-end, not a flow-through, design).
- 25 mm mounting collar (H2) — ensures a tight seal of the element in the filter housing via a standard rubber or foam gasket.
- Compact dimensions (132 × 125 mm) — allow the filter to fit into housings with limited space without losing filtration area, thanks to the pleated paper structure.
- Type P end caps — a design variant that determines how the element is secured in the housing and its compatibility with the mounting assemblies of specific compressor models.
- Dimensional compatibility with original elements from Ingersoll Rand (part no. 39588470) and Remeza (part no. 4092100200) — allowing TGA 6103 to be used as a direct equivalent during scheduled replacement.
Installation recommendations
- Before installation, check the mounting dimensions (A, B, H, H2) of the filter against your compressor housing’s parameters — matching the collar diameter (B = 76 mm) is especially important for a proper seal.
- Before fitting the new element, clean the filter housing of accumulated dust and remnants of the old gasket.
- Install the element strictly in the orientation specified by the compressor manufacturer (usually with the pleated side facing outward, toward the incoming air flow).
- Check the condition of the housing’s retaining spring or fastening assembly — a loosened fixture leads to an improper seal and unfiltered air bypassing the filter media.
- After installation, make sure there are no gaps between the element’s mounting collar and the filter housing.
- Replacement frequency depends on operating conditions (how dusty the site or facility is) and the compressor manufacturer’s recommendations — periodic visual inspection of element contamination reduces the risk of compressor overload.
Comparable solutions
TGA 6103 is suitable as a replacement for compressors originally fitted with the following OEM filter elements:
| Manufacturer | Original part number | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Ingersoll Rand | 39588470 | direct equivalent by mounting dimensions |
| Remeza | 4092100200 | direct equivalent by mounting dimensions |
Beyond these direct cross-references, air filter elements for compressors are also produced by pneumatic equipment manufacturers and specialised filtration brands (including SMC and Festo for smaller-format air preparation lines, as well as dedicated filtration brands). When selecting a replacement, the key factor is an exact match of mounting dimensions (A, B, H, H2), not just the compressor brand.
| Criterion | What to check |
|---|---|
| Collar diameter (B) | must exactly match the housing’s mounting diameter — 76 mm in this case |
| Outer diameter (A) | determines whether the element fits the existing housing — 132 mm |
| Bottom type (D) | closed (0 mm) or with a hole — affects compatibility with a specific housing design |
| End cap type (COPE) | different cap types (P and others) determine the fixing method inside the housing |
Expert comment: when replacing an original filter with an equivalent, always check not only the diameter but also the mounting collar height (H2) — this parameter is most often the cause of an improper seal when a replacement is chosen “by diameter” alone, without considering the other dimensions.
Common installation mistakes
- Selecting a filter based on outer diameter alone, without checking the collar diameter (B) — leads to play or an inability to fit the element into the housing.
- Installing the element without cleaning old dust from the housing — the new filter loses throughput capacity faster.
- Reusing a worn housing gasket when replacing the filter element — results in an improper seal and unfiltered air intake.
- Ignoring the recommended replacement interval — a clogged element increases intake resistance and reduces compressor performance.
- Installing the element without regard to airflow direction — reduces filtration efficiency.
Practical use cases
- Ingersoll Rand and Remeza piston and screw compressors — scheduled replacement of the standard air filter during routine maintenance.
- Compressor stations at auto service centres, tyre shops, and industrial facilities — maintaining clean intake air to extend the service life of the compression unit.
- Repair and refurbishment of compressor equipment — replacing worn or damaged filter elements during major overhauls.
- Spare parts stock for service organisations — using TGA 6103 as a unified equivalent covering several compressor models at once.
Expert opinion
“An air filter is one of the cheapest parts of a compressor, yet it has a major influence on the lifespan of the piston assembly or screw block. In Moldova, where dust levels at various sites — from auto service centres to warehouse yards — can be quite high, I recommend customers not delay filter replacement and keep TGA 6103 in stock as a proven equivalent for Ingersoll Rand and Remeza units — this helps avoid equipment downtime while waiting for an original part,” — Vitali Boluchevski, lead engineer at Acvatron SRL.
FAQ
Does TGA 6103 fit directly in place of the original Ingersoll Rand 39588470 filter? Yes, TGA 6103 is a direct equivalent by mounting dimensions and is intended to replace the original part number 39588470.
Is this filter compatible with Remeza compressors? Yes, TGA 6103 is also suitable as an equivalent for the original Remeza element with part number 4092100200.
What does the D = 0 mm parameter mean? It means the filter element has a closed bottom with no through-hole — important when selecting a compatible filter housing.
How often should a compressor air filter be replaced? The interval depends on operating conditions (how dusty the site is, how intensively the compressor runs); it’s recommended to follow the compressor manufacturer’s schedule and periodically inspect the filter visually.
How do I check if the filter fits without an exact compressor part number? Measure the outer diameter of the filter housing, the mounting collar diameter, and the element height, then compare them against the A, B, H, H2 parameters listed for TGA 6103.
