Baldwin P26 By-Pass HVAC Control

The Baldwin P26 is a by-pass lube filter element designed for HVAC control systems in automotive applications. It fits ACDelco optional filter housings used on Buick vehicles. The cartridge-style design includes a bail handle for easier handling during service.

5 micron rating with attached grommets

A 5 micron rating captures fine contaminants that can circulate in by-pass lubrication circuits. Two attached grommets and the furnished G115-A gasket create the required seals without separate parts. The transparent colour lets technicians inspect element condition visually.

Bail handle eases cartridge changes

The integrated bail handle allows the element to be lifted from the housing without tools, reducing the chance of damaging the grommets during removal. Installation is straightforward when the housing is accessible, but confined engine bays can make alignment of the inside diameter difficult.

Questions about this item

When will the 5 micron by-pass lube element need replacement?

Replace the element when the filter housing indicates restricted flow or at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval.

What is the first limitation during continuous engine operation?

The 5 micron rating and cartridge design determine the contaminant capacity before flow restriction occurs.

How much heat does the cartridge generate during all-day running?

The cartridge itself produces no heat; it simply filters oil at engine operating temperature.
