Baldwin Filters PA1680 Air Filter Element 9.656in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1680 is a round automotive air filter element designed to remove airborne contaminants from intake air before it reaches the engine. With an outside diameter of 9.656 inches and an overall length of 3.5625 inches, this element fits a specific range of housings that require a precise dimensional match. Metal end caps are securely affixed to maintain a proper seal and prevent bypass leakage. Licensed HVAC and diesel technicians, fleet service mechanics, and equipment maintenance professionals typically install this type of filter in scheduled service intervals.

This air filter element is suited for automotive and light-to-medium duty equipment applications where the intake housing accepts a round panel or radial-seal element of this diameter and length. It is appropriate for use in vehicles, machinery, or stationary engines that require periodic air filter replacement as part of routine preventive maintenance. The round shape and metal end cap construction are common in applications where housing retention and sealing integrity are critical to engine protection.

Key Features

• Round element design with outside diameter of 9.656 inches for precise housing fit
• Overall length of 3.5625 inches for dimensional accuracy in supported housings
• Securely affixed metal end caps provide structural integrity and leak prevention
• Designed to prevent airborne contaminant ingestion into the intake stream
• Proper seal geometry reduces risk of unfiltered air bypass

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement air filter element for automotive and equipment applications requiring a round element with a 9.656-inch outside diameter and 3.5625-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanic or equipment service technician. Shut down the engine and allow it to cool before servicing the air filter housing. Inspect the housing sealing surfaces for cracks or debris before seating the new element, and confirm the metal end caps are fully seated to prevent air bypass. Dispose of the used element in accordance with local regulations.
