Abstract

A filter housing comprises a body (1) designed to provide at least one flow path (8) therein. A filter may be secured to the body in operative connection with the flow path. The flow path opens into a substantially planar external face (9) of the body, and behind that external face the body is formed with passages (15a) lying one to each side of the opening, each passage having an internal wedge face facing away from the external face (9) and lying in a plane that makes an acute angle with the plane of the external face. When two such housings are placed with their planar external faces one in contact with the other and with their flow paths in axial alignment, they may be connected together by drawing wedge members (20) into the passages of the respective housings to draw the housings tightly together.
