Baldwin Filters BT8851-MPG Hydraulic Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BT8851-MPG is a spin-on hydraulic filter designed for automotive and heavy-equipment hydraulic systems. It threads onto the filter mount using a 1-3/8 inch thread and provides filtration of hydraulic fluid to protect pumps, valves, and actuators from particulate contamination. Weighing 3.017 pounds, this filter is built for service intervals on equipment where hydraulic system cleanliness is critical to component life. Licensed technicians and equipment mechanics install this filter during scheduled hydraulic fluid maintenance or anytime the system is opened for service.

The BT8851-MPG is suited for hydraulic systems found in agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and automotive applications that specify a spin-on hydraulic filter with a 1-3/8 inch thread mount.
