The Complete Hydraulic Filtration Product Line
BASES Œ
␣ Two-Piece Base Design, combines die cast aluminum
construction with an integral threaded steel stud to
achieve lightweight functionality and greater durability.
À Optional By-Pass Valve, available in 25 or 50 psi,
protects the filter from pressure surges and catastrophic À
element collapse.
à Threaded Steel Stud resists thread damage and reduces
the possibility of galling. The integral steel stud will not
fuse to aluminum filter baseplates the way other
hydraulic filter bases can.
Õ Threaded Steel Stud has a thinner wall than machined
␣
aluminum threads to provide 40% more flow area –
Õ Ã
reducing pressure drop and extending filter life.
ΠIndicator Ports are available on both sides for flexibility
in installation.
␣ À

INDICATORS
␣ Visual Indicator features a self-housed design, which
isolates the button from system pressure by
communicating via magnetic force. Once triggered, the
indicator stays activated until it is reset – even when the
hydraulic system is shut down.
À Electrical Indicators are available in single-post, 2-wire
and 3-wire designs. Like the visual indicator, the 2-wire
and 3-wire electrical indicators feature self-housed
designs that provide clean on/off switching.

FILTERS
␣ Heavy-Duty, All-Metal Housing is built to handle the ∂
stress and punishment of sophisticated, modern
hydraulic systems.
À High Strength Spiral Louvered Centertube helps
À
prevent collapse caused by a sudden difference between
internal and external pressure.
à High Efficiency Media, either synthetic or cellulose, is
designed to meet or exceed the requirements designated Ã
by the OEM.
Õ Seamless Canister Design provides highest possible
Õ
integrity.
ΠL-Lock Hem joins the canister and baseplate to protect
against high-pressure surges.
œ Integral Housing Seal prevents leakage.
– Heavy-Duty Baseplate is constructed of aluminum,
offering the strength and durability necessary for 500 psi
hydraulic systems.
— Heavy-Duty O-Ring Seal requires only 1/2 turn after
gasket contact, for easier installation.
