Choose the Right Truck Air Cleaner Housing
Compare dimensions and included mounting parts before choosing a standard or chopped profile. Use the product drawings and application notes to check the complete installation.
Standard 15-inch housing
The standard Peterbilt housing measures approximately 33-5/8 inches tall, with a 4-3/4-inch inlet screen and 7-inch outlet tube. Check the mounting details and line drawing against your existing installation.
Chopped 15-inch housing
The chopped Peterbilt version measures approximately 31-5/8 inches tall and uses a 2-3/4-inch inlet screen. Compare its shorter profile and mounting clearances rather than assuming it is interchangeable with the standard housing.
15-inch kit with brackets
The Peterbilt kit includes one housing, two mounting straps (#28210B), one mounting plate (#28212) and assembly hardware. The housing is approximately 33-5/8 inches tall; an air filter cartridge is not included.
Check the complete installation
Measure the available height and diameter, compare mounting locations and confirm the outlet connection and correct filter cartridge. A matching truck brand or similar appearance alone does not confirm fitment.
Air Cleaner Housing FAQs
Do these air cleaner housings include an air filter?
No. All four current listings state that the air filter cartridge is not included. Confirm the required cartridge for the selected housing before ordering.
What is the difference between the 13-inch and 15-inch housings?
The sizes refer to housing diameter. The 13-inch model is approximately 28 inches tall; the standard 15-inch housing and kit are approximately 33-5/8 inches tall. Compare the mounting points, outlet connection and filter requirements as well as diameter.
What does chopped mean for the 15-inch air cleaner housing?
This version has a shorter 2-3/4-inch inlet screen and an approximate overall height of 31-5/8 inches. The standard 15-inch version has a 4-3/4-inch inlet screen and is approximately 33-5/8 inches tall.
Which filters fit the 13-inch housing?
The 13-inch housing listing identifies Donaldson P534816 and Baldwin RS3539 cartridges. This compatibility applies to that housing; do not assume the same filters fit every 15-inch option.
Are mounting brackets included with every housing?
The 15-inch kit with brackets explicitly includes two mounting straps, a mounting plate and assembly hardware. Do not assume these components are supplied with the separate housing listings.
Will these housings fit any Peterbilt or Kenworth?
No universal fit should be assumed. The 13-inch listing names Peterbilt and Kenworth applications, while the 15-inch listings name Peterbilt. Verify the specific mounting arrangement, dimensions, intake connection and clearance for your truck.
What material are the housings made from?
The current product descriptions specify polished 304 stainless steel. Check the individual listing and its care instructions when selecting and maintaining the finish.
Are air cleaner housings sold individually or in pairs?
Each current listing identifies one housing. The kit adds mounting components, not a second housing. Confirm the order quantity if your truck uses two external air cleaners.
