Baldwin Filters PA1620 Air Filter Element 10.219 in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1620 is a round air filter element designed for automotive and light commercial applications. It measures 10.219 inches in outside diameter and 8.188 inches in overall length, with a 5.5-inch inside diameter for secure housing fitment. Metal end caps are securely affixed to maintain a proper seal and prevent bypass leakage. The element is engineered to block airborne contaminants from entering the intake system, protecting engine internals from premature wear. Two gaskets are included in the package. This filter is installed by automotive technicians and fleet maintenance professionals as part of scheduled air intake service.

This air filter element is suited for gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles requiring a round-style panel or radial-seal element in this size class. It serves as a direct replacement for several cross-referenced OEM and aftermarket part numbers, making it a practical stocking option for shops and fleets that service a range of older domestic vehicles and equipment. The rigid metal end caps and included gaskets support reliable sealing in both standard and higher-vibration service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive or fleet maintenance technicians. Before servicing the air filter housing, shut down the engine and allow it to cool. Inspect the filter housing and seating surfaces for cracks, debris, or damaged gasket material before installing the new element. Ensure both included gaskets are properly seated to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
