Axle & Transmission Breather Vent Filter (SAE J1858 assemblies) is used for letting differentials, axles and gearboxes exhale and inhale as they heat and cool, while a sintered element keeps water, mud and dust out.
Location: Specify a remote hose kit where the housing can be submerged.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Route breather hoses upward with no dips where water can collect.
Blow out or replace the element at each axle service.
Common Mistakes
A blocked breather that pressurizes the housing and pushes oil past the seals.
Leaving the vent at axle height on a vehicle that wades, so water is drawn in as the axle cools.
When Axle & Transmission Breather Vent Filter Is Not the Right Choice
Not a desiccant breather; humid-climate gearboxes needing dry air use a silica-gel breather instead.
Axle & Transmission Breather Vent Filter is made to order as finished parts. Indicative pricing starts from about US$0.70 per piece for a standard size at production quantity; the final price depends on size, material, finish, tooling and order volume.

What is Axle & Transmission Breather Vent Filter used for?
Letting differentials, axles and gearboxes exhale and inhale as they heat and cool, while a sintered element keeps water, mud and dust out.
Why do axles and gearboxes need a breather?
Heat expands the air inside; without a vent the pressure pushes oil past seals.
What happens when a breather vent clogs?
Seals leak and the housing can draw in water when it cools.
Why use a sintered stainless breather?
It is strong, cleanable and blocks dirt without restricting airflow.
