Product description

A breather cap is an essential but often overlooked component of hydraulic reservoirs in automotive lifts and power units. Its primary function is to allow air to flow in and out of the tank as the fluid level changes, preventing vacuum or pressure buildup that could damage seals or cause cavitation in the pump. This specific breather cap, model 1683-Ab, also acts as a filter, preventing airborne dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the hydraulic system. Clean hydraulic fluid is critical for the longevity of the pump, valves, and cylinders; even small particles of grit can cause internal scoring and premature failure. In the harsh environment of an auto repair shop, where metallic dust and oil mist are common, a high-quality breather cap provides vital protection for your machinery. This direct-fit replacement ensures that your Snap-On or John Bean equipment can "breathe" freely while remaining sealed against environmental contaminants, ensuring many years of trouble-free hydraulic operation.
