Abstract
A filter for in-line or inlet applications. The filter may include a spindle for supporting a filter element. In some embodiments, the spindle may be fixedly attached to a filter cap or filter body. The filter may be used as an in-line filter with a hose or tube on the inlet and outlet ports of the filter cap and filter body. In addition, or alternatively, a filter consistent with the present disclosure may be provided with a splash cap that allows use of the filter as a protected inlet for fluid flow. When used as an inlet filter, fluid may enter the filter through the splash cap and exit the filter through hose or tube coupled to the filter body. Both uses allow for serviceability.
