246987 - Miller Filter Kit for Cat C1.5 and Perkins 403-15 Engines

Technical Overview of the Miller 246987 Filter Kit

The Miller 246987 Filter Kit is a specialized maintenance package engineered for industrial engine-driven welding power sources equipped with specific diesel power plants. This kit is explicitly validated for use with Caterpillar C1.5 and Perkins 403-15 engines, which are commonly found in mid-range industrial welders such as the Miller Big Blue series and other heavy-duty equipment. Maintaining the integrity of the engine's filtration system is critical for ensuring the reliability of the power source in harsh field environments.

This kit provides the necessary filtration components required for a standard service interval. The components are manufactured to meet the precise flow rates, micron ratings, and bypass valve specifications dictated by the engine manufacturers (Caterpillar and Perkins). Using non-OEM filters can lead to inadequate filtration, pressure drops, or fitment issues that may compromise the engine's warranty or operational lifespan. The Miller 246987 ensures that oil and fuel systems remain free of particulate matter, water, and sludge that can accumulate during operation.

For fleet managers and technicians, utilizing a pre-packaged kit like the 246987 streamlines inventory management and service procedures. Instead of sourcing individual filters for the oil and fuel systems, this single SKU provides the matched set required for the engine model. It is recommended to verify the engine serial number and model year of your equipment to ensure compatibility, as engine specifications can vary within product lines.
