Description
Overview:
This Filter Housing (part no. 4229 140 2801) is a Genuine Stihl OEM component for handheld blowers and shredder vacs. Moulded from hard-wearing black plastic, it encloses and supports the air filter element, helping to seal the intake and keep out dust and debris. By maintaining correct airflow to the carburettor, it supports smooth running, easier starting, and consistent performance. Designed to match factory mounting points, it is a direct swap for a cracked or worn housing on compatible machines such as the BR 45 C and SH 55. Built for daily use, it copes well with vibration, fuel and oil exposure, and outdoor conditions, making it a reliable replacement to restore the integrity of your air filtration system.
