Abstract
A filter assembly for collecting material that is entrained in a gas stream includes a housing for a tubular elements arranged for the gas stream to flow through its wall, the housing having inlet and outlet ports for the gas that is to be filtered. The assembly includes a flow conduit which has a first conduit opening for communication with one of the ports for the gas that is to be filtered and a second conduit opening for communication with the filter element. The housing and the flow conduit are arranged so that the formation of a seal between the first conduit opening and the said port involves sliding the flow conduit generally transversely relative to the direction of flow of fluid through the port.
