Description

If you’ve ever dealt with a hydraulic cylinder that’s acting sluggish or noticed air bubbles in your hydraulic lines, a missing or damaged breather plug might be the culprit. This small but important part allows hydraulic systems to breathe properly while keeping contaminants out. When your cylinders extend and retract, the fluid volume changes and needs a way to equalize pressure – that’s where this breather plug comes in.

What You’re Getting

Proper venting that prevents vacuum buildup during cylinder operation
3/4-16 ORB thread design for secure, leak-free installation
Cross brand quality that meets OEM specifications
Filtration to keep dirt and moisture out of your hydraulic system

Built for Real Farm Work

This breather plug fits Cross brand hydraulic cylinders and systems commonly found on loaders, implements, and other farm equipment. Whether you’re running a front-end loader, operating a hydraulic-driven mower deck, or using hydraulic cylinders on tillage equipment, proper venting is crucial for smooth operation and long component life.

Made to Last

Built to handle the temperature swings and dusty conditions that come with farm work, this breather plug uses quality materials that won’t crack or deteriorate. The ORB (O-Ring Boss) design provides a reliable seal while the internal filtration keeps your hydraulic fluid clean.

Good to Know

The 3/4-16 thread is a standard size, but always verify your cylinder’s breather port before ordering. Installation is straightforward – just thread it in hand-tight, then snug with a wrench. Don’t overtighten as this can damage the O-ring seal. Replace breather plugs when you notice restricted venting or if the filter element looks clogged.
