Baldwin Filters BT8870-MPG Hydraulic Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BT8870-MPG is a spin-on hydraulic filter designed for automotive and mobile equipment hydraulic systems. It captures particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid circuits, protecting pumps, valves, and actuators from wear and premature failure. The filter measures 4.719 inches in outside diameter and 14.125 inches in overall length, with a 1-3/4 inch thread for direct spin-on installation. It is typically installed by fleet mechanics, hydraulic equipment technicians, and mobile equipment service professionals during routine fluid maintenance or system rebuilds.

This filter is suited for hydraulic return-line or pressure-line applications on automotive and mobile equipment platforms where spin-on hydraulic filter elements are specified. It is a direct replacement for the Baldwin BT8870-MPG and is appropriate for service intervals on equipment requiring a large-format spin-on hydraulic filter element.
