Application and fit
This Baldwin Filters B96-SS spin-on control is built for Cummins engines that require a 1-1/2"-12 thread. The transparent housing allows quick visual inspection of element condition without removal. It is not suited for engines with different thread pitches or for hydraulic circuits that demand a bypass valve.
Capacity and headroom
The media is rated at 9.8 micron and stands 11-9/32 inches tall with a 4-11/16 inch outside diameter. That surface area handles normal severe-service intervals, but it will load faster in high-soot or extended-drain applications where finer filtration or larger capacity is specified. The integral gasket and post seal maintain sealing through the rated service life.
Deciding specification
The 1-1/2"-12 thread size is the single dimension that determines whether this filter fits the engine. Verify the thread call-out on the service manual or the old filter before ordering; a mismatch will prevent installation regardless of micron rating or height.

Questions about this item
Will the 1-1/2" -12 thread on this B96-SS spin-on filter match the existing Cummins engine block fitting?
Yes, the thread specification is 1 1/2 In. -12, which is the standard size for the listed Cummins engine applications.
How can I confirm the 9.8 micron severe-service element is filtering correctly once installed?
Monitor engine oil pressure at idle and operating temperature; a steady reading within the Cummins specification range indicates the filter is flowing and filtering as designed.
Does the box include the integral gasket and post seal, or must I order them separately?
The integral gasket and integral post seal are built into the filter canister, so no separate seals are required for installation.
