filters are also typically built
with deeper pleats for increased
capacity while allowing for high
air flow. The pleats measure
around 7/8 to 1 1/14-inch deep
on larger filters and are nine to
12 inches in length. Some are
15-inches in length and can be
pretty heavy. Therefore, we
recommend to weld a stud to the
powder coated end-cap so that
the mount is nice and stable."

This is mostly due to the filter's

sophisticated material that is
good enough for Caterpillar and
Ford. "UMP has always supplied
the premium Donaldson brand
of dry filter elements in all of
our filters and is the only brand
we recommend," says Cappos.

dust collection (ISO 5011 testing).
