Baldwin BT388 Spin-On Hydraulic Filter
This Baldwin BT388 spin-on hydraulic filter provides 20 micron filtration for compatible hydraulic systems. It features a thread size of 1 1/2 In. -16 for secure installation. The unit measures 10 3/4 in height and 5 1/32 in outside diameter. It is designed as a direct replacement for specific Cross Hydraulic Systems and Rexworks Equipment applications.
Thermals Noise And Power Draw
As a passive mechanical filter, this unit generates no operational noise and draws zero electrical power. It relies entirely on the hydraulic system's existing pump pressure to move fluid through the media. Thermal performance is determined by the host system's cooling capacity and fluid viscosity. The filter housing is built to withstand standard hydraulic operating temperatures.
Bundled Gasket And Cross Reference Utility
The filter includes a G286-C furnished gasket to ensure a proper seal upon installation, eliminating the need for a separate seal purchase. The packaging lists cross-reference compatibility with BT388-10 Champion and specific Cross Hydraulic Systems models. This information helps mechanics verify fitment for supported equipment quickly. No additional software or accessories are included with this item.

Questions about this item
How do I install the BT388 spin-on filter and which step is most often missed?
Thread the 1 1/2 in.-16 filter onto the hydraulic head by hand until the G286-C gasket contacts the base, then tighten an additional three-quarters turn; the step most often missed is lubricating the gasket with clean hydraulic oil before spinning it on.
What maintenance or replacement will the BT388 filter need later?
Replace the spin-on cartridge at the interval specified by the equipment manufacturer or when the pressure-differential indicator signals restriction; the 20 micron media is not cleanable, so a new BT388 unit is required each service.
What limit appears first on the BT388 filter during sustained high-flow operation?
The 20 micron media will load with contaminants and raise differential pressure until the bypass valve opens, so filter life — not thermal or structural limits — is the first constraint under continuous use.
