Abstract
A filter installation arrangement and an associated method of installing a filter assembly to a partition. A filter assembly includes a filter element that extends along a longitudinal axis. The filter element includes an end cap disposed at an end of the filter element. An adjustment device of the installation arrangement axially displaces the end cap of the filter element in a first direction. An insert portion is inserted adjacent the end cap subsequent to the axial displacement of the end cap. The insert portion is configured to limit axial displacement of the end cap in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
