ABSTRACT:
A filter assembly for filtering contaminants from liquid. A housing has a filtering chamber and an inlet port and an outlet port communicating with the chamber for flow of liquid therethrough. Filter media is located in the filtering chamber for filtering contaminants from liquid flowing through the filter media to the outlet port. A sump region is provided in the filtering chamber at the bottom thereof below the inlet port. Contaminants in the liquid entering the chamber from the inlet port tend to gravitate toward the sump region for collection. A separator member is located in the filtering chamber below the inlet port. This separator member substantially separates the filter media and sump region, and gravitating contaminants gravitate from the inlet port to the separator member. The separator member provides for communication of the gravitated contaminants into the sump region but tends to trap those contaminants in the sump region.
