KAYDON KF60185 Return Line Filter Element
The KAYDON KF60185 is a cellulose return line filter element designed to remove particulate contamination from hydraulic fluid before it returns to the reservoir. Its large filtration area provides effective contaminant retention while supporting consistent flow through the hydraulic system.
This KF60185 / KF6018-05 element features outside-to-inside flow, Buna sealing material, and a 58 PSI collapse-pressure rating. It is suitable for use with HH, HL, HM, and HV hydraulic fluids across a broad operating-temperature range.
