Question by: Jerry S on Nov 20, 2025, 7:58 AM
this a cartridge-style breather, or does it mount some other way?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 21, 2025, 9:33 AM
Cartridge style, yes. The BDE 400 x 2 W from Schroeder Industries uses a cartridge form factor, so it threads or seats into a standard breather port rather than requiring a separate housing or bolt-on bracket setup.

For a direct match, the identifying string you have is the key. This product is a Schroeder Industries cartridge breather described as “BDE 400 X 2 W 0.0/-SI,” and it also cross-references supplier part number 1304259 and SKU R-DBE-4. If your existing unit is marked BDE 400 X 2, that lines up with the core model callout shown here.
