Side Stream Filter Housings for Construction Equipment

Side stream filter housings within the filtration assembly

• Housing body: holds the matching filter element
• Port configuration: integration into the side stream circuit
• Sealing surfaces: sealing between housing, cover and element
• Design types: single housings and multi-housing configurations

Side stream filter housings are part of the filtration assembly. Pump and drive belong to the side stream filtration unit.

Housing size and configuration

The housing size defines the required housing family and element fitment within the system.

If the size does not match, the housing will not fit the existing assembly.

Element fitment and sealing surfaces

Housing and filter element must match in size, fitment and design.

If the fitment is incorrect, the element will not seat properly or the system will not seal correctly.

Port configuration and installation

Port position and housing design define how the housing integrates into the existing filtration setup.

Mismatch becomes visible during installation or operation – lines do not align or the housing does not seal properly.

Single and multi-housing configurations

Depending on the system, single housings or parallel multi-housing setups are used.

Multi-housing systems follow a different assembly logic and are not interchangeable with single housings.

Typical fitment issues in practice

• Size: housing does not match the required series
• Element fitment: element does not seat correctly
• Configuration: single and multi-housing systems mixed up
• Port layout: piping does not match
• Sealing surfaces: housing does not seal properly

Incorrect selection leads to installation issues, leakage or improper element fitment.

Side stream filter housings within the system

Side stream filter housings are part of side stream filtration and provide the interface for filter element, cover and ports.

Related components include side stream filtration units as complete systems and filter elements as consumables.

Within the broader hydraulic system, connections exist to hydraulic filter elements, return line filters and pressure filters.

Check before ordering

• Housing series and size
• Matching element fitment
• Single or multi-housing configuration
• Port layout and installation position
• Existing filtration assembly
