Baldwin Filters PA1800 Air Filter Element 12 in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1800 is a round air filter element designed to remove airborne contaminants from engine intake air in automotive and light-duty applications. It measures 12 inches in outside diameter and 5-9/16 inches in overall length, with an inside diameter of 8.563 inches. Metal end caps are securely affixed to the filter media to create a proper seal and prevent bypass leaks. This filter element is installed by fleet mechanics, diesel technicians, and equipment service professionals as part of routine air intake maintenance.

This air filter element is suited for automotive and equipment applications where a round panel or radial-seal style filter of this dimensional profile is required. The secure metal end cap construction helps maintain seating integrity under high-vibration and variable-load operating conditions. Technicians working on vehicles or equipment that specify a 12-inch OD round filter element with an 8.563-inch inside diameter and 5-9/16-inch length will find this element dimensionally appropriate for that service interval.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified automotive or equipment technicians. Before servicing the air filter housing, shut down the engine and allow it to cool. Inspect the filter housing sealing surfaces for damage or debris before seating the new element. Do not operate the engine with the air filter housing open or improperly latched, as unfiltered air will enter the intake.
