Fleetguard Hydraulic Filter, Spin-On — Part Number HF28996

Brand: Fleetguard | Condition: New Old Stock (NOS)

Genuine Fleetguard medium-pressure spin-on hydraulic filter, part number HF28996. Italian-made, microglass synthetic media, 2-16 UN-2B thread, with an integral pressure valve — rated at 23 micron Beta 200. Used across an exceptionally wide spread of industrial and materials-handling equipment: Ingersoll Rand and Atlas Copco compressors, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Case, Claas, Manitou, Hyster, Grove and Omniquip. From original dealer stock, in Fleetguard packaging, never fitted.

Condition Details

New Old Stock. The filter is new and unused, never installed and never exposed to fluid. As with all NOS stock, the original Fleetguard box or wrapper may show shelf wear, dust, discoloration, crushed corners, or age-related dirt. The part is sold as new; the packaging is sold as-is. The can is undented, the threads are clean, the sealing gasket is supple with no cracking or set, and the media is clean and dry.

On the media, which matters here. One distributor’s description calls this a cellulose filter. It is not — it is microglass synthetic. The confirmation is in the Baldwin equivalent’s own part number: BT8426-MPG stands for Maximum Performance Glass, Baldwin’s designation for their microglass line. Microglass holds its efficiency as it loads and resists cold-start pressure differential far better than paper does. At 99.5% capture at 23 micron this is a genuine high-efficiency filter, not a coarse one — and it is priced accordingly in the parts channel, around €92.

A warning on one cross you may encounter. Some aftermarket listings group HF28996 with Baldwin BT8830, WIX 51474 and Fleetguard HF6420. That grouping is incorrect. BT8830 is catalogued as a transmission oil filter and crosses to WIX 51474, a different part. The correct Baldwin equivalent is BT8426-MPG, confirmed by matching dimensions (3¾ × 6-3/32 in) and by the shared microglass media. If your records show BT8830, message us and we will check it with you before you buy.

Features

• Genuine Fleetguard — the filtration brand of Cummins Filtration, an original equipment supplier rather than a copy house
• Microglass synthetic media at 23 micron Beta 200. This is the high-efficiency grade, not a general-purpose filter. 99.5% single-pass capture at 23 micron is what protects servo valves and variable-displacement pumps
• Medium-pressure construction with an integral pressure valve, so the circuit is protected if the element loads up
• One of the broadest industrial interchanges we have catalogued. Fourteen equipment OEMs across compressors, excavators, telehandlers, forklifts, cranes and agricultural machinery, plus thirteen filter brands
• Correct 2-16 UN-2B thread — stated plainly, because that is what determines whether it fits your housing
• Italian manufacture to the Fleetguard specification, inspected to ISO 9001:2015
• At roughly €92 through the parts channel this is a substantial filter, not a commodity item. An unused one from original stock is worth having

Because HF28996 replaces filters across many manufacturers’ housings rather than belonging to one machine, the reliable way to order is by thread size and dimensions, or by one of the numbers above. Please confirm HF28996, or your existing filter’s number, against your equipment’s service manual or the filter you are removing, before ordering. If you are unsure, send us a message with your equipment make and model, or the thread size and dimensions of your old filter, and we will check it with you.

Why Choose Fleetguard?

Fleetguard is Cummins Filtration, and it has built filters as an original equipment supplier for decades rather than reverse-engineering other people’s. On a medium-pressure spin-on that matters in a specific way: the can is a pressure vessel with a valve inside it, and the media is synthetic glass fibre rather than paper. The can has to hold its seam through cold-start pressure spikes, the valve has to open at the right differential, and the glass media has to stay intact rather than shedding fibres downstream. A filter that fails structurally does not merely stop filtering — it feeds its own media into the pump and the valve block. Fleetguard publishes the beta rating, the media type and the presence of a pressure valve because all three are engineering specifications the filter is built to meet.

Returns

Returns accepted within 30 days through the eBay return request process. The part must be returned in the condition in which it was sent, unused and with the media clean and dry. Please confirm the 2-16 UN-2B thread, the dimensions and the fitment for your equipment before ordering.
