FILTER ASSEMBLY INCLUDING FLOW CAP

摘要

A filter assembly (10) may include a canister (14) and a filter element (16) received in the canister. The filter element may include filter media (126) configured to promote separation of a first fluid from a second fluid having different characteristics than the first fluid as fluid passes through the filter media. The filter element may further include a first end cap (92), a second end cap (116), and a tubular member (114) extending between the first and second end caps. The filter assembly may further include a flow cap (32) associated with the first end cap of the filter element. The flow cap may include an inlet portion (54) configured to provide flow communication between an inlet port (38) of a filter base (12) and the tubular member of the filter element, and an outlet portion (58) configured to provide flow communication between an outlet port (40) of the filter base and an exterior portion (52) of the filter element.
