Filter Cross Reference

Cross-referencing a filter is the step that goes wrong most often in this trade. Two numbers look similar, one digit differs, and the part arrives at the customer with the wrong thread. We keep a fitment table rather than a lookup list, because the question is never just "what replaces this number" — it is "what fits this machine".

What our data covers

938 part numbers, mapped to 1,681 machine models across 40 brands — roughly 13,000 individual part-to-machine links. That table is what generates our catalogue: every machine page lists the filters it takes, and every filter page lists the machines it fits. It is the same data in both directions, which is why the two views never contradict each other.

How to use it

• By part number — search the number in the catalogue. If we make it, the product page shows the machines it fits.
• By machine model — open the model page and you get every filter that machine needs, by family.
• By brand — the catalogue is grouped by manufacturer, so you can work through a fleet brand by brand.

When we cannot confirm a number

If a number is not in our table we say so, and then we ask for a sample photo with dimensions or the machine model. We do not substitute a "close enough" number to win the order. A wrong cross-reference costs more in returns and reputation than the order is worth — and in this industry the customer usually finds out at the worst possible moment, mid-job, with the machine already drained.

What we need to cross-reference

Any one of these is enough to start: the OEM number, the machine make and model and year, or a photo of the old filter with a ruler beside it. The third one resolves most ambiguities on its own.
