FILTER ELEMENT HAVING END CAP SEAL AND FILTER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46) including an end portion (60) at least partially defining an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication to a filter medium (48) of the filter element, and at least partially defining an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from the filter medium. The filter element may further include a filter medium associated with the tubular element, and an end cap (50) associated with the end portion of the tubular member and the filter medium. The end cap may include a plate (142) transverse to the longitudinal axis (X) of the tubular member, and a sealing wall (146) coupled to the plate and extending transverse to the plate. The sealing wall may include a seal portion (148) configured to be compressed between a filter canister (14) and a portion of a filter base (12) to provide a seal between the filter canister and the portion of the filter base.
