How the V6021B5C20 model number is decoded

  • V6021B5C20Eaton V602 Vickers filter element model code (Eaton V602 Vickers Pressure Filter Element).
  • 222AS10040AEaton catalog number (order code) for the same element.
  • C20Filter fineness grade: nominal rating and media letter.
  • C-PakFilter media execution.
  • 17 barDelta-P resistance class — maximum differential pressure (collapse) rating.
  • Nitrile (Buna-N)Seal compound.
  • 78.74 mmOuter diameter.
  • 406.4 mmElement height.

Typical equipment & applications

  • Pressure-line hydraulic filters upstream of control valves
  • High-differential-pressure industrial hydraulic circuits
  • Hydraulic power units for steel, paper and power generation

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • “10 µm nominal” and “12 µm at β1000” can describe the very same media — one is reported at β≥200, the other at β≥1000 per ISO 16889. Compare ratings at the same Beta test point, not just the printed micron number.
  • Nitrile (NBR) seals are standard for mineral hydraulic oil but fail early in some phosphate-ester fluids and at sustained high temperature; verify seal compound against the fluid data sheet (fluorocarbon/Viton executions may be required).
  • End-cap geometry and the number/position of O-rings block interchange even when OD and length match — visually compare end caps before fitting, especially with aftermarket cartridges.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the V6021B5C20 filter element?
The published envelope is 78.74 mm OD × 406.4 mm length (3.100 × 16.000 in). Confirm against the housing drawing before ordering.
What replaces the V6021B5C20 filter element?
9 partial match(es) requiring parameter review
How do I read the V6021B5C20 part number?
See the designation decoder above: each segment of V6021B5C20 encodes size, line type, filtration grade and media/collapse execution.
Is a same-envelope aftermarket element always a drop-in replacement?
No. Matching OD and length only proves the cartridge fits the bowl. End-cap style, seal compound, micron/Beta rating, collapse pressure and bypass configuration must also match; the table above tags every equivalent as full, partial or verify for exactly this reason.
How often should a hydraulic return-line element be replaced?
Replace at the housing manufacturer’s recommended differential-pressure setting (commonly signalled by a clogging indicator), or on a time-based service interval when no indicator is fitted — never wait for bypass to open continuously, because unfiltered oil then reaches the valves.
