A plurality of filter assemblies (24) are supported by the tubesheet (44) and hang vertically, each filter assembly including a first filter portion (80) and a second filter portion (82), the first and second filter portions sealingly connected by a connection device (200), wherein the connection device permits fluid communication between the first (80) and second (82) filter portions, and wherein the connection device has a strength sufficient to support the weight of the filter portions. Each first filter portion (80) and second filter portion (82) further includes a central tube (104) and a pleated filter element (120, 188) surrounding the central tube (104).
