Technicians servicing Detroit Diesel powerplants requiring a base/secondary filter mount with dual outlets will find this part matches the specified port configuration. Shops working on gasoline engines or other diesel brands should verify compatibility before ordering.

Questions about this item
How does the 3 3/32 in length affect installation space?
The 3 3/32 in overall length keeps the base compact enough for tight engine compartments while still providing two outlet ports for secondary filtration routing.
What does the 1/4-18 NPT thread size limit for hose connections?
The 1/4-18 NPT inlet and dual outlets restrict fittings to that exact thread standard, so adapters are required for any hose or line with a different thread pitch or diameter.
Will the 4 11/16 in outside diameter clear the mounting bracket on a Detroit Diesel?
The 4 11/16 in outside diameter matches the factory mounting pattern for Detroit Diesel engines, allowing direct bolt-on without spacer plates or custom brackets.
