Baldwin PT9256-MPG hydraulic filter element
This Baldwin Filters PT9256-MPG is a hydraulic cartridge element designed for fluid-power systems. It uses wire-mesh supported media with an attached spring and includes a bypass valve. The unit measures 5 7/32 in length and 2 25/32 in outside diameter. It is sold new as a standalone replacement element.
Suits maintenance on compatible hydraulic circuits
Technicians servicing equipment that accepts this specific cartridge will find the correct fit and filtration rating. Buyers who need a complete spin-on assembly or a different thread connection cannot use this element-only design. Systems requiring alternative dimensions or media grades must select a different part number.
Critical spec: 5 7/32 in cartridge length
The 5 7/32 in overall length is the primary dimension that determines whether this element fits the target filter housing. Verify this measurement against the original equipment specification before ordering. An incorrect length will prevent proper sealing and bypass-valve operation.

Questions about this item
Which Baldwin Filters PT9256-MPG hydraulic filter element should I choose for my system?
This cartridge-style element has an outside diameter of 2 25/32 in, an inside diameter of 1 7/32 in, and a height of 5 7/32 in. Match those dimensions and the wire-mesh supported design to your housing.
What does the 5 7/32 in height mean once the filter is installed?
The element stands 5 7/32 in tall inside the housing, so the canister must provide at least that much clear length for the cartridge and its attached spring to seat and seal correctly.
What thread standard applies to the PT9256-MPG element?
The specification lists thread size as not applicable; this element seals by its 2 25/32 in outside diameter against the housing bore rather than by threads.
