Hydraulic Filter Element
The Baldwin Filters PT9242 is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element designed for fluid power systems. It fits equipment requiring a wire-mesh supported element with an integrated bypass valve and attached spring. New condition ensures clean media and reliable sealing from first installation.
Capacity and Headroom
The element measures 5 1/8 inches in height and length with a 2 3/4 inch outside diameter and 1 1/8 inch inside diameter. It handles hydraulic flow rates within the housing's design limits while the bypass valve protects the system during cold starts or high contamination. It cannot serve applications requiring a different thread interface or larger surface area.
Bundled Components
The unit ships as a complete filter element including the bypass valve and attached spring. No separate hardware or sealing kits are required for standard cartridge replacement. The wire mesh support maintains pleat integrity under pressure differentials. No software or electronic accessories are included or applicable.

Questions about this item
Will the PT9242 cartridge fit in the housing I already use for my older hydraulic system?
The element measures 5 1/8 inches in height and 2 3/4 inches in outside diameter with a 1 1/8 inch inside diameter; compare those dimensions to your existing housing before installing.
How can I verify the PT9242 is filtering correctly once installed?
Monitor the system pressure differential across the filter; a rising delta-P indicates the wire-mesh supported element is capturing contaminants and the internal bypass valve remains closed.
Does the PT9242 package include a new housing or seals, or must I supply them separately?
The box contains only the cartridge element with its attached spring and built-in bypass valve; any housing, O-rings or mounting hardware must be sourced separately.
