BALDWIN BT287 FAMILY GASKETS | ||
Baldwin Filters has received numerous inquiries regarding the gaskets for the BT287 family of filters. This family includes the BT287, 287-10; BT345 KIT; BT387, 387-10; BT388, 388-10; BT389, 389-10; BF1239; B7011; BF7571; BF7623; BT8307-MPG; BT8308-MPG; BT8309-MPG; BT8310-MPG; and the BT8368. The gaskets for this family of filters have been designed to cover the diverse mounting heads available. Table 1 provides information to help determine |
which gasket is appropriate for which filter mounting base. The G369-A, G372, and G483 gaskets are designed to fit within the filter's mounting base, not the filter itself. Please see below for an illustration depicting the gaskets and their arrangements. Refer to our Worldwide Cross-Reference Guide and our Worldwide Filter Applications Guide to determine the standard gaskets for each filter and to determine which filter assembly should be used for certain applications. | |
