Abstract
In one aspect, a method for assembling a filtration system is provided. The method includes providing a filter including a retainer formed therewith. The method also includes coupling a gasket about the retainer such that the gasket circumscribes the retainer, such that the gasket is integrally formed with a clamp and such that the clamp is coupled to the retainer in a friction fit.
Claims17
A method for assembling a filter, said method comprising:
- providing a filter including a retainer formed therewith;
- and
- coupling a gasket about the retainer such that the gasket circumscribes the retainer, wherein a clamp is embedded within the gasket, wherein the clamp comprises an aperture defined therein that is sized to receive the retainer such that the clamp is coupled to the retainer in a friction fit, and at least a portion of the retainer extends outward from the gasket.
A filtration system comprising:
- a filter assembly comprising:
- a filter including a retainer;
- and
- a gasket circumscribing the retainer, said gasket comprising a clamp embedded within said gasket, said clamp comprising an aperture defined therein sized to receive the retainer such that the clamp is configured to couple to the retainer in a friction fit. wherein at least a portion of the retainer extends outward from said gasket when the clamp is coupled to the retainer.
