Baldwin Filters BT388-10 Hydraulic Spin-on Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BT388-10 is a hydraulic spin-on filter designed for cross hydraulic systems in automotive and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 5-1/32 inches and an overall length of 10-3/4 inches, this filter replaces dirty or degraded hydraulic filters in spin-on style filter housings. It is engineered to improve system fluid cleanliness levels and provide superior protection against particulate contamination. Licensed HVAC technicians, hydraulic system mechanics, and fluid power specialists install this filter as part of routine hydraulic system maintenance. Weighing 3.325 pounds, it includes a BT388 F gasket and a selection of O-ring gaskets for a secure seal.

The BT388-10 is suited for cross hydraulic systems where a spin-on filter style is specified. Typical installations include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and automotive hydraulic circuits that require periodic filter replacement to maintain fluid cleanliness and protect system components. The spin-on design allows for fast, tool-minimal changeouts during scheduled service intervals. This filter is particularly relevant for applications demanding better cold start performance and consistent hydraulic fluid protection across operating temperatures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or fluid power technician familiar with hydraulic system service procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit before removing the old filter to prevent fluid release and injury. Select the appropriate included O-ring gasket for your application and ensure a clean, leak-free seal at the filter mount before returning the system to service. Dispose of used hydraulic fluid and filters in accordance with applicable local environmental regulations.
