A filter element assembly includes two cylindrically shaped and concentrically arranged flexible media sleeves (302, 301), wherein the sleeves are respectively supported against radial flow by an inner and outer cage (325, 330). Respective ends of the sleeves are permanently affixed to an inlet plate 303 and a terminal plate 304. The inlet plate includes a closed central area 315 to prevent unfiltered liquid from entering the cylindrical space 306 defined by the inner filter sleeve. The inlet plate also includes openings 316 to allow unfiltered liquid into the annular space 305 between the sleeves. An end cap 340 is permanently affixed to the inlet plate and includes a support on an upper surface thereof for supporting the assembly within a housing.
