Baldwin PT498-10 Hydraulic Element
The Baldwin PT498-10 is a new hydraulic filter element designed for fluid power systems. It targets maintenance technicians and equipment operators who need a direct replacement element for compatible filter housings. The unit arrives ready for installation with an included I. gasket to ensure a proper seal.
20 Micron Rating and Flow Capacity
This element carries a 20 micron rating that captures fine particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid. The media provides sufficient surface area for standard hydraulic circuits while maintaining pressure drop within acceptable limits. Service life depends on system cleanliness and operating pressure, with the element requiring replacement once the differential pressure indicates saturation.
Element-Only Design for Existing Housings
The filter uses an element-only construction measuring 7-1/4 inches in height with a 4-1/2 inch outside diameter and a 2-1/4 inch inside diameter. It fits directly into existing Baldwin-compatible filter heads without additional hardware. Builders needing a complete filter assembly with an integrated housing cannot use this element alone.

Questions about this item
Will this 20-micron element fit the same housing I use for my current Baldwin PT498-10 filter?
Yes, the element matches the 4-1/2 inch outside diameter, 7-1/4 inch length and 2-1/4 inch inside diameter of the PT498-10 housing.
How can I confirm the filter is sealing correctly once installed?
Pressurise the hydraulic system and check for leaks at the gasket surface; a dry joint means the included I. gasket is seating properly.
Does the box contain only the element or are extra gaskets or hardware included?
The package supplies the hydraulic filter element and one I. gasket; no additional seals or mounting hardware are provided.
