Abstract
A high pressure spin-on filter cartridge utilizes an end plate which is strengthened by four substantially triangular shaped gussets which project from an annular U-shaped bridge that supports an internally threaded hub member. The internally threaded hub member provides an outlet for the filter cartridge while a plurality of radially positioned inlet openings are positioned between the gussets. The gussets extend radially past a sealing gasket that seals the spin-on filter canister with a machine on which it is mounted.
