A polymeric connector for a filter having a central opening defining a flowpath is connected to a metallic mounting for the filter having an opening which, when the connector and mounting are connected, is in register with the connector opening, the metallic mounting including a connecting portion extending around said mounting opening, by heating the connecting portion such that, on the connecting portion contacting the polymeric connector, the polymeric connector is so heated as to permit the connecting portion to be inserted into the polymeric connector, and inserting the connecting portion into the polymeric connector to form a fluid-tight join therebetween. <IMAGE> |
