177323 - Miller Engine Drive Air Intake Hose with Spring Support

Genuine Miller 177323 Air Cleaner Hose for Engine Driven Welders

Maintain the peak performance and longevity of your industrial welding equipment with the Miller 177323 Air Cleaner Hose with Spring. This component is a critical part of the air intake system on select Miller engine-driven welders, such as the Bobcat and Trailblazer series. Designed to connect the air cleaner assembly to the engine's carburetor or intake manifold, this hose ensures that only filtered, clean air enters the combustion chamber.

In the harsh environments where welders operate—construction sites, fabrication yards, and field repair stations—dust and debris are constant threats to engine health. A compromised intake hose can allow abrasive particles to bypass the filter, leading to rapid cylinder wear and engine failure. The Miller 177323 is manufactured from high-quality, heat-resistant rubber capable of withstanding the thermal cycles and vibrations typical of heavy-duty welding generators.

Engineered for Reliability

What sets this OEM part apart is the inclusion of a robust internal spring. Engine intake systems operate under vacuum; without reinforcement, a rubber hose can collapse inward as the engine draws air, choking off the oxygen supply and causing the machine to stall or lose power under load. The integrated spring in the 177323 maintains the structural integrity of the hose at all times, ensuring consistent airflow regardless of engine RPM.

Choosing genuine Miller parts guarantees a perfect fit without the need for modification. Generic hoses may lack the correct curvature, diameter, or internal support, leading to installation headaches and potential performance issues. Trust Josef Gas to supply the authentic components you need to keep your fleet operational and efficient.
