HE Series
Medium Pressure Spin-On Filter Elements: 1/2-16 Thread, 300 PSI
FOR USE WITH HF SERIES FILTER HEADS
The HE Series medium pressure spin-on filter elements feature a specialized 1/2-16 mounting thread and compact 3.7 inch OD design, making them ideal for medium pressure hydraulic systems up to 300 PSI. Choose between economical cellulose media (HE) for standard applications or high-performance synthetic media (ZHE) for extended service life and superior filtration efficiency. Designed specifically for use with HE filter heads, these elements provide reliable protection for industrial and mobile hydraulic equipment operating in moderate pressure environments.

Application Data
- Reference:
- ßXµ(c) = 2 represents 50% efficiency at Particle Size (Nominal Rating)
- ßXµ(c) = 75 represents 98.7% efficiency at Particle Size (Absolute Rating)
- Buna-N gasket standard. Fluorocarbon gasket optional, consult factory.
- Suitable for petroleum-based fluids. Consult factory for synthetic fluids.
- Caution: Do not use HE Series filter elements on internal combustion engines.
- Aqua-Zorb filter medias absorb and retain free water. Any absorbed water cannot be liberated from the Aqua-Zorb media. As the element becomes saturated with water, the Aqua-Zorb media continues to swell, and will ultimately curtail flow through the filter. Not for use with water-glycols.
Zinga Filter Media Types

Z-Glass Media
Multi-Layered, non-woven glass media that provides the highest levels of depth filtration efficiency and capacity. Higher capacity means longer service life. Coupled with a steel support mesh, Z-Glass can withstand higher differential pressures.

Cellulose Media
Traditional paper based media that provides a nominal level of depth filtration and capacity. Used with petroleum-based fluids only. Some grades of cellulose include a layered glass fiber substrate to provide more efficiency.

AquaZorb Media
Water absorbing cellulose based media designed specifically to absorb and retain free water from petroleum-based fluids. Commonly used in offline systems, AquaZorb will operate until it is fully saturated and ultimately curtail flow through the media. A system by-pass valve and service gauge is recommended when using AquaZorb.

Stainless Steel Mesh
Woven in a variety of precision patterns, stainless steel mesh provides a basic surface type filtration with very low differential pressure. Applications include pump protection and “last chance” valve protection. Stainless steel mesh can be serviced by ultrasonic cleaning. (30: 560µ, 60: 280µ, 100: 141µ, 200:75µ, 200×1400: 10µ)
