A filter apparatus including a housing and a filter member retainable therein. The filter apparatus is adapted to be securable at a variety of positions relative to the housing. A wedging mechanism is provided whereby, when the filter element is placed in a desired location relative to the housing, the wedging mechanism may be engaged, thereby not only securing the filter member into position, but also preferrably forming an occlusive seal between the filter element and the housing. Fluid is introduced into the filter apparatus by first side of the filter element and is allowed to exit the filter apparatus from a second side of the filter element.
