I need to find the right filter?????

[Loobed]

I want to install an oil filter in a non-automotive application. It will be for a lower pressure, low flow system using a hydraulic type oil. I want to use a readily available oil filter. I would like a mid sized filter, not the micro size that motorcycles use nor do I want the larger old style chevy spin on size. I also want one with a pressure relief valve, but I don't know right now at what pressure I want the relief valve to open. Is there someplace that has a listing of all the filter's overall size, mounting thread size, and relief valve pressure?

The WiX site has specs. I'd consider a filter head that will accept a 3/4x16 filter. Theres many that can be used.

Heres a couple.

What's this going to be used on, and what kind of oil flow volume through the filter are you estimating?

 

[Texan4Life]

When adding my trans and P/S filters I used a 3/4-16 filter base Wix #24764

It is for the return line on a hydraulic clamping system for a lathe. The flow rate is about what you would get if you had room temperature engine oil and poured it through a funnel with a 3/8" opening.

Thanks for your help. Is the 3/4-16 thread the size that's is most common for automotive remote filter adapters?

The ones I've seen are 3/4-16.

I'd recommend a PureOne (99.9% @ 20 microns) that is medium sized can that has the right threads for your application.

Loobed, do you NOT need the common 10 micron rating that many/most hydraulic systems operate with?

From what I'm gathering, he doesn't even have a filter on it now. So anything would be a vast improvement.

No filter, unless it is very small and an in-line type. There is no filter can to replace. The other hydraulic units have a small black screw-on filter.

I just looked @ Mcmaster-Carr and noticed they have kits for under $50, and filters with a 3, 10, or 25 micron rating. The manufacturer of the hydraulic unit wanted $350.
