4 Steps to Reverse-Match an Unlabeled Filter
When part numbers fade, use a digital caliper to take these 4 key measurements:
Step 1: Thread Size ──► Step 2: Gasket ID/OD ──► Step 3: Canister OD ──► Step 4: Height
- Thread Size & Pitch (Most Critical): Measure thread diameter and distance between threads (e.g., M20 × 1.5 or 1"-14 UNS).
- Gasket Inner & Outer Diameter: Measure the rubber seal's inside (ID) and outside (OD) edges to ensure a leak-free fit.
- Canister Outer Diameter: Measure the widest part of the metal housing to check bracket clearance.
- Overall Height: Measure from the top mounting base down to the bottom dome.
Key Measurement Reference
| 1. Parameter | What to Measure | Example |
| Thread | Diameter + Thread Pitch | M27 × 2.0 or 1"-14 UNS |
| 2. Gasket | Rubber Seal OD / ID | 72 mm / 62 mm |
| 3. Canister | Metal Body Diameter | 93 mm |
| 4. Height | Top Base to Bottom Dome | 175 mm |
