Abstract
A filter adapter for removing metallic particles from fluid. The adapter is cylindrical in shape and includes an attachment insert for mounting the adapter between a source in a fluid flow system and a conventional filter. The adapter has a ring shaped magnet held in the housing of the adapter by magnet holders. The adapter has a plurality of perforations in the top and bottom for the flow of unfiltered fluid from the fluid source, through the adapter, and to the conventional filter. The attachment insert is hollow so as to allow filtered oil to flow back from the conventional filter to the fluid system the adapter is attached to.
