An end cap 10 has a body 26 with a plurality of apertures, wherein the apertures include a first end aperture 28 for attachment to a filter bowl 16 and a second end aperture 30 for attachment to another filter bowl or to a sealing plate 40. The body also has a sidewall inlet 46 and outlet 48. In one aspect the body is formed by extrusion and the end cap also has an insert 50 with a conduit 52 for directing a stream of gas from the inlet to a first filter element 14 through the first end aperture. In a further aspect, a gas treatment assembly (80, Fig. 7) for treating compressed gas comprises a tubular media containing portion (82, Fig. 7). The assembly has a plurality of end caps (86, 88, Fig. 7) for enclosing the tubular media containing portion, wherein the end caps provide an inlet (102, Fig. 7) and outlet (104, Fig. 7). At least one end cap is adapted at a first end to engage and form a seal with the media engaging portion. A closure (94, Fig. 7) is adapted to engage and seal with a second end of the end cap. |
