Hydraulic Filter Element for Hitachi Excavators
The Baldwin Filters PT8479 is a cartridge-type hydraulic element designed for Hitachi excavators. It fits systems that require an 11-7/16 inch length and a 3-17/32 inch outside diameter. The element includes a furnished gasket and a reinforced centertube for structural integrity. This new component serves as a direct replacement for compatible hydraulic circuits.
Capacity and Headroom for Hydraulic Systems
The filter element measures 11-7/16 inches in height and length with a 3-17/32 inch width. Its inside diameter is 1-29/32 inches, defining the flow path through the media. It handles hydraulic fluid filtration within these dimensional constraints. Systems requiring different lengths, diameters, or thread interfaces will not accept this element.
Build Quality and Mounting Implications
A reinforced centertube resists collapse under differential pressure during operation. The furnished gasket supplies the sealing surface required for a leak-free installation. With no thread size applicable, the element seats into a dedicated housing bore rather than spinning onto a base. This design suits the specific mounting geometry of the target Hitachi excavator models.

Questions about this item
Will the 11-7/16 inch length and 3-17/32 inch outside diameter match the housing on my older Hitachi excavator?
The element measures 11-7/16 inches long with a 3-17/32 inch outside diameter and 1-29/32 inch inside diameter; compare these dimensions to your housing before installation.
How can I confirm the reinforced centertube and furnished gasket are seated correctly after fitting?
After installation, verify the gasket sits flat in the groove and the centertube aligns with the housing bore; no bypass gaps should be visible when the cover is torqued.
Does the box include the gasket or must I purchase a separate seal kit?
The filter element is supplied with a furnished gasket included; no separate seal kit is required for installation.
