CHANGE IN FILTER APPEARANCE


The "New" Hastings Filters, Inc. is a member of the CLARCOR Filtration Products group. Hastings filters are no longer a part of Hastings Manufacturing Company. The "New" Hastings Filters, Inc. will be incorporating some changes in product appearance. These changes result from source of supply.

All changes are thoroughly reviewed by our product engineering groups before they are made. These changes are generally to improve the quality and availability of products while keeping costs minimized.

The pictures below demonstrate one example of an obvious difference you will notice.
The "New" Hastings FF863 now contains a higher quality patented, all metal self-venting drain valve. This is one example of the changes that you may notice when using the "New" Hastings Filters, Inc. products. Should you encounter other changes that you or your customers are uncomfortable with, please contact our Service Engineering team for an explanation of the change.

There are also some changes regarding the application section of our catalog. You may notice that the 1996 catalog lists a different filter for certain applications than the 1995 or previous catalogs. Again, these changes were thoroughly reviewed before they were implemented. The implementation of these changes maintains a consistency between the Hastings filter application listings and the OEM recommendations
