Fluid filter flow arrangement

An arrangement for filtering fluid flow in a conduit comprising:

• a. a T connection having a body including a hollow projection and a pair of aligned hollow projections extending laterally therefrom for forming flow passages and to form a filter receiving section of uniform size throughout its longitudinal extent;
• b. an inwardly extending annular flange formed on one of said aligned hollow projections and projecting radially inwardly of said aligned hollow projections to define one end of the filter receiving section;
• c. an external annular flange formed on the other of said projections;
• d. a hollow annular filter member positioned in the filter receiving section formed by said lateral projections, said annular filter member including:
• 1. a core formed of coils spaced a predetermined amount;
• 2. a plurality of circumferentially spaced ribs extending longitudinally of said core;
• 3. said ribs having a surface secured to said core;
• 4. an annular flange formed on one end of said core for seating on said inwardly extending annular flange and to retain said core in uniform spaced relation inwardly relative to said pair of aligned hollow projections;
• 5. an annular flange formed by the other end of said core to retain said core in uniform spaced relation inwardly relative to said pair of aligned hollow projections;
• and
• e. a flange secured with said external annular flange and engaging said annular flange formed by the other end of said core for closing said other end of said core and retaining said core seated on said inwardly extending flange and spaced inwardly uniformly of said pair of aligned hollow projections throughout the extent of said uniform sized filter receiving section.
