Parker 940734 Hydraulic Filter Element Water Removal

Product Description

The PARKER 940734 is a hydraulic filter element designed to remove water contamination from hydraulic fluid systems. Water ingress is one of the leading causes of hydraulic component wear, corrosion, and fluid breakdown. This element installs within a compatible hydraulic filter housing and performs continuous water removal during system operation. With an outside diameter of 4.5 inches, it is sized for use in mid-range industrial and mobile hydraulic applications. Licensed hydraulic system technicians and fluid power mechanics are the typical installers for this type of component.

This filter element is suited for hydraulic systems where water contamination is a known concern, such as equipment operating in high-humidity environments, outdoor machinery, or systems with heat exchanger leaks that allow water intrusion into the hydraulic circuit. It is used in both mobile and stationary hydraulic power units where maintaining clean, dry hydraulic fluid is critical to system reliability and component longevity.

Key Features

• Water-removal filter media targets free and emulsified water in hydraulic fluid
• Outside diameter of 4.5 inches fits mid-range hydraulic filter housings
• Drop-in element design simplifies scheduled maintenance and changeouts
• Helps prevent corrosion and fluid degradation caused by water contamination
• Sold individually for precise maintenance scheduling

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement hydraulic filter element for use in compatible PARKER hydraulic filter housings that accept a 4.5-inch outside diameter water-removal element. Confirm housing model and element specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Hydraulic filter elements should be replaced by a qualified fluid power technician or hydraulic systems mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before opening any filter housing. Ensure the replacement element is fully seated and that housing seals or o-rings are inspected and replaced if worn. Dispose of used elements and drained fluid in accordance with applicable environmental regulations.
