Parker AB116310 Nonmetallic Breather 10 Micron Top Mount

Product Description

The PARKER AB116310 is a nonmetallic breather filter designed to protect hydraulic reservoirs and fluid systems from airborne contamination during fluid level changes and thermal breathing cycles. Rated at 10 microns, it removes particulate from air entering the system as fluid cools and contracts. The nitrile and nylon body with a steel cap is built to handle a maximum working pressure of 5 psi and a maximum working temperature of 90 degrees C. This breather mounts from the top of the reservoir and is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics during routine maintenance or new system builds.

The AB116310 is suited for use on hydraulic reservoirs in mobile and stationary industrial equipment where clean-air ingression control is required. The nonmetallic body construction resists corrosion in environments where metal breathers would degrade. Its 3-inch outside diameter and 6.04-inch overall length are common to standard reservoir breather ports, making it a practical direct-replacement option for worn or contaminated units in the field.

Key Features

• 10-micron filtration rating removes fine particulate from ingested air
• Nonmetallic nitrile and nylon body resists corrosion and chemical degradation
• Steel cap provides structural durability at the top-mount installation point
• Rated to 5 psi maximum working pressure and 90 degrees C maximum temperature
• 3-inch cap diameter fits standard reservoir breather port openings
• Compact form factor at 6.04 inches overall length suits tight installation clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement breather for hydraulic reservoirs requiring a top-mount, nonmetallic breather with a 3-inch port diameter and 10-micron air filtration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified fluid power or hydraulic technicians. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic system before removing the existing breather. Inspect the reservoir port threads for damage before installing the replacement unit. Verify the torque requirements and seal condition per the equipment manufacturer service documentation before returning the system to service.
