Parker SPA.1731.10.5N Metal Breather 10 Micron Npt

Product Description

The PARKER SPA.1731.10.5N is a metal breather filter designed to protect hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and other fluid-containing equipment from airborne contamination during normal pressure and vacuum breathing cycles. Rated at 10 microns, it captures particulate matter before it can enter the system, extending fluid and component life. The threaded NPT connection and top-mount design make installation straightforward on standard reservoir ports. This type of breather is typically installed by hydraulic technicians, industrial maintenance crews, and fluid power specialists working on mobile or stationary equipment.

This breather filter is suited for use on hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and pneumatic or hydraulic system vents where a metal-bodied, top-mount breather with NPT threading is required. The 10-micron filtration rating makes it appropriate for systems operating in moderate-to-high dust environments. With a maximum working temperature of 194 degrees F (90 degrees C), it handles typical industrial operating conditions without degradation of the metal housing or filter media.

Key Features

• 10-micron filtration rating for effective airborne particulate removal
• Metal body construction for durability in industrial environments
• NPT threaded connection for compatibility with standard reservoir ports
• Top-mount design for straightforward vertical installation
• 3-inch outside diameter and 3-inch cap diameter
• Rated for operation up to 194 degrees F (90 degrees C)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation breather filter for hydraulic reservoirs, gearboxes, and fluid system vents requiring a top-mount, NPT-threaded metal breather with 10-micron filtration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and lock out the system before removing any existing breather or port plug. Use appropriate thread sealant on NPT threads per the system manufacturer's guidance, and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the port threads. Verify that the replacement breather micron rating and connection size match the system requirements before installation.
