Baldwin Filters BT8423 Hydraulic Spin-on Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BT8423 is a hydraulic spin-on filter designed for demanding fluid-power applications in mobile and stationary equipment. With an outside diameter of 5.063 inches and an overall length of 6.969 inches, it installs quickly using a standard filter wrench on a 1-1/2 inch threaded port. The BT8423 is built to improve system fluid cleanliness, support better cold-start performance, and provide consistent protection for hydraulic circuits under varying operating conditions. Licensed hydraulic technicians and equipment service mechanics are the primary installers of this filter.

The BT8423 is used on Ingersoll-Rand compressors and similar hydraulic-circuit equipment requiring a spin-on element of this size class. It suits both shop-based and field-service repair scenarios where a direct-replacement hydraulic filter is needed. The included gasket set covers multiple application configurations, making it a practical stocking item for shops servicing a range of units.

Installation Notes

Power down and depressurize the hydraulic system fully before removing the old filter. Use a strap wrench or standard filter removal tool sized for the 5.063 inch OD housing. Hand-tighten the new filter onto the 1-1/2 inch port, then snug per the equipment manufacturer's service manual. Confirm the correct gasket from the included set is seated before returning the system to pressure, and check for leaks on initial startup.
