1. Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Hitachi OEM specification – Part number YA00002973 (also referenced as YA00002973H3). Manufactured to Hitachi‘s original equipment standards for the ZAX490-5A, ZAX690-5A, and compatible Zaxis series excavators. This is a brand‑new, factory‑spec component – not an aftermarket substitute. Genuine OEM parts ensure perfect fit, reliable performance, and long service life.

• Critical fuel system protection – This fuel filter/water separator is the first line of defence for your engine‘s precision fuel injection components. It removes dirt, rust, algae, asphaltenes, varnishes, and especially water from the fuel system. Water contamination is prevalent in modern fuel tanks due to condensation, making this filter essential for preventing injector and pump damage.

• Advanced water separation technology – The filter is designed specifically as an oil‑water separator, efficiently removing free and emulsified water from diesel fuel. This prevents water from reaching the high‑pressure common rail system, where it can cause corrosion, injector sticking, and catastrophic engine failure.

• High‑efficiency particle filtration – The filter media traps fine contaminants that would otherwise score precision‑machined fuel system components. This extends the service life of the fuel injection pump, injectors, and the entire engine.

• Wide compatibility across Hitachi Zaxis series – The YA00002973 fuel filter is compatible with a broad range of Hitachi excavator models, including ZAX490-5A, ZAX490-5G, ZAX690-5A, ZX490-5G, ZX690-5A, ZX120-5B, ZX130-5B, ZX240-5B, ZX330-5B, and many other Zaxis series machines. For the ZAX490-5A and ZAX690-5A, this filter is specifically designed to work with the Isuzu 6WG1 and 6HK1 engine platforms.

• Multiple cross‑reference part numbers – This filter is interchangeable with several industry‑standard part numbers, making sourcing easy:

  • LS02P01012R100

  • 87332923

  • F-7930

  • SF FILTER SK3125

  • SAKURA F-7930

  • Also fits KOBELCO 72150287 applications

• Compact, lightweight design – The filter weighs approximately 0.22 – 0.40 kg (depending on variant), making it easy to handle and install. Single packaging dimensions are approximately 15 × 7 × 7 cm.

• Pre‑shipment visual verification – Before packing, we send you detailed high‑resolution photographs of the actual unit (part number markings, seal condition, overall quality). You approve shipment – we never ship blind. Video inspection is also available upon request.

• Fast delivery – 5–7 working days lead time from our Guangzhou warehouse. Flexible shipping options including DHL, TNT, UPS, FedEx, and sea freight.

3. Applications

The Hitachi YA00002973 fuel filter / water separator is a critical engine protection component for ZAX490-5A and ZAX690-5A excavators used across the most demanding job sites:

• Large‑scale open‑pit mining – ZAX490-5A (approx. 50‑ton class) and ZAX690-5A (approx. 70‑ton class) excavators are the backbone of copper, gold, iron ore, and coal mining operations. These machines work 20+ hour shifts in remote locations where fuel quality can be inconsistent. The YA00002973 water separator removes water and contaminants that would otherwise damage the high‑pressure common rail fuel system. In mines where refuelling from bulk tanks is common, water contamination is a constant threat – this filter is your engine‘s first line of defence.

• Quarrying & aggregates – Loading trucks, stockpile management, and material handling in granite, limestone, and basalt quarries. The filter‘s robust construction withstands the harsh, dusty quarry environment, ensuring reliable performance shift after shift. The ZAX490-5A and ZAX690-5A are equipped with Isuzu engines (6HK1 and 6WG1 respectively), which rely on clean, water‑free fuel for optimal performance and emissions compliance.

• Heavy construction & infrastructure – Highway excavation, dam building, bridge footings, and large‑scale earthmoving projects. Fuel quality can vary significantly between job sites. The YA00002973 filter ensures consistent fuel cleanliness regardless of the fuel source, preventing injector sticking and power loss that would disrupt project timelines.

• Equipment rental fleet – 50–70‑ton excavators are high‑value rental assets. A genuine new fuel filter ensures predictable engine performance and eliminates the risk of fuel system contamination – avoiding costly mid‑rental breakdowns and customer complaints. Regular replacement of the fuel filter is one of the most cost‑effective preventive maintenance measures for any diesel engine.

• Forestry & land clearing – Steep slopes, fallen timber, and uneven terrain place variable loads on the engine. The filter ensures consistent fuel delivery even under changing operating conditions, maintaining reliable engine power for saws, grapples, and mulchers.
