Abstract
A filter cartridge is provided. The filter cartridge includes a pack of filter media having an inlet face and an outlet face. The filter media pack further includes opposite first and second sides and opposite first and second ends. The sides and ends extend transversely between the inlet and outlet faces. The sides also extend transversely between the ends such that each end has an external non-planar, curved or multifaceted geometry. The filter cartridge further includes a pair of end caps located against each end of the filter media pack. Each end cap has an internal surface with a geometry closely matching the geometry of the associated filter media pack end. Further, an adhesive is disposed between the filter media pack and the end caps to secure them together.
