Baldwin Filters PA2162 Air Filter Element 5.375in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA2162 is a round air filter element designed to remove airborne contaminants from intake air in automotive and light equipment applications. Measuring 5.375 inches in outside diameter and 4.9375 inches in overall length, this element fits compactly into standard filter housings where dimensional accuracy is critical to sealing performance. Securely affixed metal end caps provide a rigid structure that resists deformation under operating conditions, ensuring the element seats properly and maintains a leak-free seal throughout its service life. Licensed technicians and shop mechanics routinely specify this part for routine filter service intervals.

The PA2162 is suited for automotive air filtration applications where a round element of these dimensions is required. Its construction prioritizes contamination control and seal integrity, making it appropriate for use in vehicles and small equipment subject to dusty or demanding operating environments. Refer to vehicle or equipment manufacturer specifications to confirm fitment before installation.

• 3.813 inches inside diameter for consistent airflow through the element core
• Securely affixed metal end caps prevent bypass and structural collapse
• Designed to prevent airborne contaminant ingestion into the intake system
• Proper seal design eliminates unfiltered air leaks around the element perimeter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement air filter element for automotive applications requiring a round element with 5.375 inches outside diameter and 4.9375 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians or qualified shop personnel. Shut down the engine and allow it to cool before accessing the air filter housing. Inspect the housing and sealing surfaces for cracks or debris before inserting the new element. Ensure the metal end caps seat fully against the housing to maintain a proper seal and prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
