Baldwin Filters PA697 Automotive Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA697 is a round air filter element designed to remove airborne contaminants from the intake air stream in automotive and light equipment applications. At 3-7/8 inches outside diameter and 2-3/4 inches overall length, this compact element fits inline air filtration housings where space is limited. Metal end caps are securely affixed to ensure a proper seal, preventing unfiltered air and contaminants from bypassing the filter media. Installation is straightforward for qualified service technicians working on engine air intake systems.

The PA697 is suited for automotive applications requiring a small-diameter, short-body air filter element. It is commonly installed in engine air intake assemblies where the housing accepts a 3-7/8-inch OD round element. The secured metal end caps and leak-prevention design make it appropriate for applications where maintaining a clean air supply to the engine is critical to performance and component longevity.

Installation Notes

Air filter elements are typically serviced by automotive or equipment technicians following the engine manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Power down the engine and allow it to cool before removing the air filter housing. Inspect the housing and sealing surfaces for debris or damage before installing the new element. Ensure the metal end caps seat fully and the element seals properly within the housing before returning the system to service.
