Abstract
A spin-on filter includes a housing and a cover plate defining a central opening. The housing has a closed end a circumferential wall extending from the closed end to an open end and circumscribes an internal chamber configured to receive a filter element. The cover plate includes a substantially planar outer surface extending radially outward from the central opening to an outer circumferential wall. The spin-on filter also includes a series of engagement tabs integrally formed with one of the outer circumferential wall of the cover plate or the interior wall of the housing. Each engagement tab is configured to mate with corresponding ones of a series of receiving slots formed within the other one of the outer circumferential wall of the cover plate or the interior wall of the housing when the cover plate and the housing are axially pressed together to secure the cover plate to the open end of the housing.
