Hydraulic filter for vehicle systems
The Wix Filters 51486 hydraulic filter is designed for automotive hydraulic circuits. It traps contaminants that can degrade fluid performance and damage pumps or valves. Mechanics and fleet operators use it to maintain system cleanliness during scheduled service intervals.
Metal canister with threaded ports
A steel housing protects the filter element from pressure spikes and road debris. Threaded inlet and outlet ports allow direct installation into existing hydraulic lines without special tools. The sealed construction prevents bypass leakage under normal operating pressures.
Limited by rated flow and pressure
The filter element restricts flow once its contaminant capacity is reached, increasing differential pressure across the housing. It cannot clean fluid that has already broken down chemically or remove water contamination. Systems exceeding the design pressure risk canister deformation or seal failure.
