Abstract
A baghouse filter having a filter media and an end cap is provided. The filter media has a longitudinal axis, and the end cap has an outer peripheral side wall. The side wall has first and second edges. A first recessed channel extends between the first and second edges of the side wall, and a second recessed channel extends from the first channel. The first and second channels define a connection area at which the filter connects to the tubesheet at an opening in the tubesheet. Also, a method is provided for installing a filter on a tubesheet having first and second sides separating plenums of a baghouse. The method includes providing a filter having structure for attaching to a tubesheet opening from either side, selecting the side to install the filter and installing the filter on the selected side.
