Baldwin Filters PT9180 Hydraulic Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PT9180 is a hydraulic filter element designed for automotive hydraulic systems. This is an element-only design with an attached spring, making it a direct-install replacement for service intervals on hydraulic circuits. The PT9180 measures 2.75 inches in outside diameter and 3.625 inches in overall length, and ships with an included O-ring for a proper seal at installation. It is typically installed by automotive technicians and equipment service professionals maintaining hydraulic systems in light- to medium-duty applications.

This hydraulic element is suited for automotive and mobile equipment hydraulic systems where maintaining clean system fluid is essential to component longevity. The element-only configuration is used when the housing is retained and only the filtration media is replaced. Compatible cross-reference part numbers from the input data include Donaldson P171527 and Wix R17C10CB, making it a common replacement option across multiple equipment platforms serviced with those references.
