The invention relates to a filter for fluids, comprising a plastic supporting body for supporting a filter material. The outer surface of the filter is provided with a pump connection piece, which has a lower end extending in an inner space of the filter, which exhibits an inlet opening. The supporting body is composed of a first part comprising the pump connection piece and of at least a second part, both parts being movably linked to each other through a hinge section so that the at least second part can be positioned angularly in relation to the first part, along with the filtration material, and the first and the at least second parts being initially aligned in a same plane. A locking device is provided to lock the second part in the angular position in relation to the first part.
