Product description

The breather cap is a vital venting component for hydraulic reservoirs and gearboxes found in Snap-On and John Bean automotive equipment. Its primary function is to allow the system to "breathe" as fluid levels fluctuate, equalizing internal pressure while preventing contaminants like dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the sensitive hydraulic or oil system. Without a functioning breather, vacuum or pressure buildup can lead to seal failure or cavitation in pumps. This cap is designed to fit specific reservoir necks and features internal filtration media to trap airborne particles. Maintaining a clean breather cap is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to extend the life of hydraulic fluid and internal components in heavy-duty shop machinery.
