FAQ
What is the difference between 243009 and 243009N?
The "N" suffix designates the aftermarket/service replacement version. Both fit the same Tu-Flo compressor air strainer assemblies and are functionally identical.
Why replace the air strainer filter element?
A clogged or damaged element restricts airflow into the compressor, reduces system pressure output, and allows contaminants to enter — all of which shorten compressor life and degrade air brake performance.
Which compressors use this element?
Bendix Tu-Flo 400, 500, 501, 600, 700, and 1000 series — commonly found on Mack, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, International, and similar heavy-duty trucks and equipment.
