Description
Overview:
This genuine Briggs & Stratton air filter cartridge (part no. 496894) is a direct replacement for selected 12 hp, 12.5 hp and 14 hp vertical engines. It uses pleated paper media within a rigid frame and a tight sealing gasket to trap fine dust and debris while maintaining strong airflow. The result is cleaner intake air, better combustion and longer engine life. Sized to suit many small engines found on lawn mowers, garden tractors and generators, it fits cleanly into the factory air box for straightforward maintenance. Suitable for models including 13 hp Diamond Plus and the 282700 series, it is built for regular service intervals where dependable filtration and a secure seal are essential to performance and starting reliability.
