A re-usable, spin-on filter cannister for hydraulic use, which can attach to a block-like head; said head being previously existent for attachment of a conventional, throw-way, spin-on type cannister. The invention is designed with metal parts which can be assembled or dis-assembled without damage. Thus, when the spent filter element is discarded, the housing parts can be reused with a fresh element, without physical alteration to any of the metal container parts. The assembly/dis-assembly mode, which enables reuse, is by means of a radial displacement of split rings which, in engagement with the cannister and plate, act to contain the hydraulic stresses within the filter assembly.
