Baldwin PT8481 Hydraulic Filter Element
This Baldwin Filters PT8481 is a hydraulic cartridge element designed for fluid power systems requiring fine contamination control. It serves maintenance technicians and equipment operators who need a direct replacement element for compatible filter housings. The unit arrives new and ready for installation.
25 Micron Rating Captures Fine Particles
The single specification that determines fit is the 25 micron rating, which defines the particle size this media will trap. A mismatch here lets abrasive contaminants circulate or restricts flow, so verify the rating against the system requirement before ordering. The element measures 8 27/32 inches in length with a 2 3/4 inch outside diameter.
Spin-On Cartridge Swaps in Minutes
Installation consists of removing the spent cartridge and threading this element into the existing head until the attached end seals seat. The most common error is over-tightening, which can distort the seals and cause bypass leaks. No special tools are required beyond a strap wrench for removal if the old unit is stuck.

Questions about this item
What does the 25 micron rating mean for my hydraulic system?
A 25 micron rating means the filter element traps particles 25 microns and larger, protecting components from abrasive wear while maintaining flow.
How does the cartridge design with no thread size affect installation?
The cartridge design uses attached end seals instead of threads, so it slides into a compatible filter housing and seals against the housing bore.
Will the 8 27/32 inch height and 2 3/4 inch diameter fit my filter housing?
The element measures 8 27/32 inches long with a 2 3/4 inch outside diameter and 1 5/8 inch inside diameter; compare these to your housing specs.
