Features
The HEK11 low-pressure, high flow filter features a cast
aluminum head, steel body and a head-to-canister band
clamp that simplifies servicing. Flow is inside-to-outside.
BunaN seals are on the in-stock models.
Filter media is Synteq®, Donaldson’s exclusive synthetic
media designed especially for liquid filtration. A wire
mesh media is available for harsh applications. HEK11
comes standard with a visual service indicator available
via service parts.

Assembly Notes

Donaldson uses the inlet port as the reference point. “Left side,” for instance, means that the
indicator mounts on the side of the filter head that is on your left when you face the inlet port.

HEK11 at Oil Depot

High-flow/low pressure HEK11 filters are used at
this oil depot to remove both ingressed and induced
contamination from oil that is piped around from
What’s so special about
reservoir to tank.

A Note on Seals P160234 BunaN
• Filters with seals made of BunaN are appropriate for
most applications involving petroleum oil. Filters with
seals made of flurorcarbon elastomer (such as Viton® Housing
from DuPont Dow Elastomers and Fluorel from 3M
Company) are required when using diester, phosphate
ester fluids, water glycol, water/oil emulsions, and
HWCF (high water content fluids) over 150°F.
