Abstract
A filter element () is disclosed which comprises a filtration media () and an end fitting () through which a sealing connection is made between the filter element and a housing () so that, when the sealing connection is made, the end fitting defines in part a flow path for fluid between the housing and the filter element. The end fitting includes an annular seal (') made from a compressible material which extends around the periphery of the filter element, and a support () for the annular seal which can be expanded outwardly to cause the transverse dimension of the seal to increase so that the seal is urged into contact with an inner wall of a housing () in which the filter element is located.
