FILTRATION SEPARATION ASSEMBLY

摘要

Filter cartridge or housing (20) construction for filtering a fluid medium such as a slurry having filtration, and one or more end caps (10) therefor. One end of the cartridge (20) of this invention is sealed with a cap (10) having a fluid inlet (11) while the opposing end is sealed with a cap (10) having a fluid outlet (11). The present invention provides an end cap (10) design for a filter cartridge or housing (20) that reduces the number of parts previously required for such end caps. In addition, once the end caps (10) of the invention are assembled to the filter housing (20), the end caps (10) cannot be removed without destroying the housing (20) and/or cap (10), thereby ensuring a permanent assembly.
