-20an 100 Micron Filter w/o Bypass

The -20AN 100 Micron Filter w/o Bypass is a precision hydraulic filtration component engineered for high-pressure fluid systems in military and tactical vehicle platforms. This non-bypass filter design is purpose-built for operators who demand uncompromised fluid cleanliness in mission-critical applications where system integrity cannot be compromised by contaminant ingress. From armored personnel carriers to specialized equipment platforms, this filter addresses the demanding hydraulic requirements of professional-grade tactical operations.

Operating at -20AN fitting specifications, this Peterson Fluid filter element delivers 100-micron filtration efficiency without a pressure bypass valve, meaning it provides consistent contaminant removal across the system's operating envelope. The absence of a bypass function forces all fluid through the 100-micron media, eliminating the risk of unfiltered flow during cold starts or high-flow scenarios—a critical design choice for hydraulic systems where maintaining precise control and component longevity is non-negotiable. Weighing 1.6 lbs and measuring 3.4 x 3.2 x 10.7 inches, the compact form factor integrates seamlessly into space-constrained tactical platform installations.

Combat engineers, equipment maintenance technicians, and vehicle operators maintaining military-spec hydraulic systems will recognize this filter's value in preventive maintenance protocols. The non-bypass design is ideal for systems where downtime for contamination-related failures is operationally unacceptable, and where pump wear or actuator drift cannot be tolerated. Installation requires confirmation of -20AN port compatibility and system flow rating validation to ensure the 100-micron element does not create excessive backpressure under rated operating conditions.
