Baldwin BT8842-MPG hydraulic filter
This Baldwin BT8842-MPG is a spin-on hydraulic filter built for heavy-equipment maintenance. It uses maximum-performance glass media rated at 5 microns and includes an attached gasket for a secure seal. The unit threads onto compatible housings with a 1 3/8 in.-12 thread size. It suits technicians servicing Case, Caterpillar, Swinger loader or Thermo King compressor systems.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Mechanics working on the listed Case, Caterpillar, Swinger or Thermo King hydraulic circuits will find the correct thread and micron rating here. Buyers needing a different thread pitch, a higher or lower micron rating, or a filter for non-listed machinery should look elsewhere. The filter is not intended for engine oil, fuel or coolant applications.
Installation notes
Spin-on design allows hand installation onto the existing filter head; the attached gasket removes the need for a separate seal. Over-tightening can damage the gasket or housing threads, so follow the equipment manufacturer’s torque guidance. Cross-threading is the most common error during fitting.
