Parker SAB.1562.10.NPT Metal Breather 10 Micron Npt

Product Description

The PARKER SAB.1562.10.NPT is a metal breather filter designed to vent hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and fluid storage tanks while blocking airborne particulate contamination. Rated at 10 microns, it captures fine particulates before they enter the reservoir during pressure equalization cycles. The threaded NPT connection and top-mount configuration allow for straightforward installation on standard reservoir port fittings. With a steel cap construction and 3-inch outside diameter, this breather is built for demanding industrial and fluid power environments. It is installed by hydraulic technicians, industrial maintenance personnel, and fluid power specialists.

This breather is suited for use on hydraulic power units, lube oil reservoirs, gearboxes, and similar fluid containment systems that require filtered atmospheric venting. The top-mount, threaded NPT design makes it a common fit for industrial machinery where reservoir ports are sized to accept standard threaded breather caps. It is used in both stationary industrial equipment and mobile hydraulic applications where contamination control is critical to system longevity.

Key Features

• 10 micron filtration rating for effective particulate exclusion during reservoir breathing cycles
• Steel cap construction for durability in industrial service environments
• NPT threaded connection for compatibility with standard reservoir port fittings
• Top-mount design for easy access and straightforward replacement
• 3-inch outside diameter cap fits standard reservoir breather openings
• Maximum working temperature of 90 degrees C suitable for most hydraulic and lube applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation breather for hydraulic reservoirs and gearboxes equipped with NPT threaded top-mount breather ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and isolate the reservoir or gearbox before removing the existing breather. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with hydraulic or lube oil service on the NPT threads. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as this may damage the port or cap threads.
