Technical Details and Specifications

The Wix 51367 hydraulic filter is engineered for heavy-duty duty type and class, ensuring it withstands demanding hydraulic environments. Its enhanced cellulose media provides a 21-micron filtration rating, effectively capturing contaminants to protect hydraulic components. The anti-drain back valve feature prevents fluid from draining out when the system is off, maintaining system readiness. With a burst pressure of 380 psi, this filter is built to handle high-pressure hydraulic circuits without failure. The spin-on design with a 3/4-16 thread size allows for straightforward replacement and secure fitting in compatible systems.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Protects hydraulic pumps and valves from particulate contamination
• Prevents system downtime caused by clogged or inefficient filters
• Maintains hydraulic fluid cleanliness to extend component life
• Reduces risk of hydraulic system failure due to pressure spikes
• Ensures consistent flow rate between 7 and 9 gpm for optimal system performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wix 51367 hydraulic filter, ensure the system is depressurized to avoid fluid spray. The spin-on design simplifies replacement; apply a thin layer of clean hydraulic fluid to the gasket before threading the filter onto the housing. Tighten the filter according to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks. Regular inspection and timely replacement based on operating hours or contamination levels will help maintain hydraulic system efficiency.
