Hydraulic Filter Element 20 micron
The Baldwin Filters PT8885-MPG is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element rated at 20 micron. It uses wire mesh supported Maximum Performance Glass media. The element measures 9 1/8 in height and 3 29/32 in outside diameter with a 1 5/8 in inside diameter. Two attached grommets are included for sealing.
Cartridge design with attached grommets
The cartridge construction means the element installs directly into a compatible filter housing without a separate canister. Wire mesh backing supports the glass media under pressure spikes. Attached grommets simplify assembly and reduce the chance of a missed seal during routine service. Thread size is not applicable for this element-only format.
Upgrading from standard cellulose elements
This element replaces basic cellulose cartridges where finer particle capture and longer service intervals are required. The 20 micron glass media targets contamination that coarser media allows through. The jump is worth it when hydraulic cleanliness targets demand higher beta ratios or when extended change-out schedules lower total maintenance cost. Not for buyers who need a spin-on canister or a different micron rating.
