Baldwin Filters PT492 Hydraulic Filter Element

The Baldwin Filters PT492 is a new hydraulic filter element designed for fluid power systems. It uses a replaceable element design rated at 9.8 microns to capture fine contamination. The unit measures 5 inches in length with a 2-5/8 inch outside diameter and includes two attached O-rings for sealing.

Mechanics and maintenance teams servicing

This filter suits technicians who need a direct-fit element for compatible Baldwin filter housings. It is not intended for buyers who require a complete filter assembly with housing included. Shops needing a different micron rating or thread configuration should look at other specifications.

9.8 micron rating handles fine particle removal

The 9.8 micron media comfortably handles typical hydraulic fluid cleanliness targets for general industrial and mobile equipment. It runs out of service life when the pressure differential across the element reaches the housing bypass setting, which is determined by the housing not supplied with this element.

Questions about this item

Will this filter body repair tool fit a housing that takes a 2-5/8 in outside diameter element?

Yes, the outside diameter is 2-5/8 in, matching housings built for that size.

Can I run this 9.8 micron element in a system that previously used a coarser hydraulic filter?

The 9.8 micron rating is finer than many standard hydraulic elements, so it will capture smaller particles; verify the system can handle the added restriction.

How do I confirm the filter is sealing correctly after installation?

Pressurise the circuit and check for leaks at the two included O-rings; a dry joint means the seal is working as intended.
