HF29076 filter element: specifications & equivalents

Specifications and cross-references are taken from the Fleetguard online catalog API. Where both TWA and Beta ratings are published the conventions differ — verify cleanliness targets, collapse rating and seal configuration against the current Fleetguard data sheet before ordering.

How the HF29076 model number is decoded

• HF29076Fleetguard HF-series hydraulic spin-on filter part number.
• 258.5 mmOverall height.
• 25 µm at β75(c) per ISO 16889Published efficiency ratings.

Typical equipment & applications

• Construction, agricultural and industrial hydraulic circuits
• Mobile-equipment hydraulic return and pressure lines

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• A return-line element is not a pressure-line element: return cartridges (BN4HC low-collapse) tolerate roughly 20 bar differential, while BH4HC pressure executions are rated to 210 bar. Installing a low-collapse element in a pressure housing can rupture the media on cold-start spikes.
• This element has no integral bypass — opening pressure is set by the housing’s reusable bypass valve. Confirm the valve setting (commonly 3.4 bar) is present before fitting.
• “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.
