Abstract
A filter assembly has a housing accommodating a filter element. One end cap of the filter element has a generally annular body with support fins projecting from one surface. A peripheral flange extends from the edge of the body and is spaced from the outer ends of the fins to allow differential expansion of the flange without undue stress. The flange carries two opposed sets of pegs for supporting respective sealing rings to allow the flange to seal between parts of the housing.
