Parker SAB.1563.10.NPT Metal Breather Filter 10 Micron

Product Description

The PARKER SAB.1563.10.NPT is a metal breather filter designed to vent hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and fluid power enclosures while capturing airborne contaminants before they enter the system. Rated at 10 microns, it removes particulate from incoming air to protect sensitive fluid systems from contamination-related wear. The top-mount, NPT-threaded connection allows for direct installation into standard reservoir ports. The body is constructed from nitrile and nylon with a steel cap, and the unit is rated for a maximum working temperature of 90 degrees C. Licensed HVAC, fluid power, or industrial maintenance technicians typically specify and install this type of breather during routine reservoir maintenance or new equipment commissioning.

This breather filter is suited for use on hydraulic power units, gearboxes, and fluid reservoirs in both industrial and mobile equipment applications. The NPT thread standard makes it compatible with North American reservoir ports and vent fittings. The top-mount design positions the filter above the reservoir cap for unobstructed airflow and straightforward inspection. At 1.75 inches outside diameter and 2.22 inches overall length, it fits into space-constrained installations where larger spin-on breathers are impractical. The unit is packaged individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• 10-micron filtration rating removes fine airborne particulate from reservoir vent air
• NPT threaded connection for direct installation into standard North American reservoir ports
• Top-mount design for vertical installation on reservoir caps and gearbox covers
• Steel cap with nitrile and nylon body for durability in fluid power environments
• Maximum working temperature of 90 degrees C supports a wide range of industrial operating conditions
• Compact 1.75-inch cap diameter fits tight installations where space is limited

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service breather for hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and fluid power enclosures with NPT-threaded vent ports requiring 10-micron filtration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified fluid power technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and de-energize the reservoir or gearbox before removing the existing breather or vent cap. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads per the equipment manufacturer's guidance and hand-tighten before using a wrench to final torque. Inspect the breather periodically for clogging or physical damage and replace as part of a scheduled contamination-control maintenance program.
