Baldwin Filters PT8969-MPG Hydraulic Filter Element 11 7/16 in

Baldwin PT8969-MPG hydraulic cartridge

The Baldwin PT8969-MPG is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element built for fluid-power systems that require fine contamination control. It uses a wire-mesh supported glass media rated at 5 microns to capture particles that cause wear in pumps and valves. The element measures 11 7/16 in overall length and 4 31/32 in outside diameter with a 13/32 in inside diameter. An O-ring is included for a positive seal.

Verify housing fit and micron need

Confirm the housing accepts a cartridge of 11 7/16 in length and 4 31/32 in outside diameter before ordering. Check that the 13/32 in inside diameter matches the centre post or bypass valve in your filter head. Ensure a 5 micron rating satisfies the cleanliness target specified by the equipment manufacturer. The thread size is listed as not applicable, so sealing relies entirely on the supplied O-ring and housing geometry.

Replaces worn cartridge elements

This element replaces a spent cartridge of identical dimensions and micron rating in hydraulic power units, mobile equipment or industrial machinery. The jump is worth it when pressure differential indicators show rising back-pressure or when scheduled service intervals call for fresh media. It does not upgrade the filtration rating beyond 5 microns, so systems needing finer or coarser capture should select a different element.
