The Honda 17221-Z8B-900 Air Cleaner Housing is a genuine OEM component designed for GCV160 and GCV190 vertical shaft engines and HRR216 and HRS216 lawn mowers. As a factory-original part, it meets Honda's exact specifications for fit and function, making it the straightforward choice when the original housing is cracked, broken, or damaged. Confirm your unit's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and more than one version of this housing has been used across production runs.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this housing carries the same specifications as the part that left the factory, ensuring the filter element seats and seals exactly as intended.
- Correct Enclosure Geometry — the housing forms the structural shell of the air cleaner assembly, so an exact-fit replacement is essential for the filter to locate properly and prevent unfiltered air from bypassing it.
- Broad Fitment — covers GCV160 and GCV190 vertical shaft engines as well as HRR216 and HRS216 lawn mowers; use part number 17221-Z8B-900 and your serial number to confirm the right version for your unit.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda has updated this housing at specific serial breaks, so cross-check your machine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct version before ordering.
The air cleaner housing encloses and protects the air filter element, forming a sealed chamber that directs incoming air through the filter before it reaches the carburetor. This keeps abrasive dust, debris, and moisture out of the engine's intake, which is critical to protecting the carburetor and cylinder from premature wear. When the housing is cracked or broken, the seal is compromised and unfiltered air can enter the engine, accelerating internal wear and causing rough running or hard starting over time.
