A filter assembly for use in a baghouse. The baghouse has a tube sheet with a plurality of openings. The filter assembly includes a first filter element including a mounting structure at a first axial end to attach the first filter element to the tube sheet adjacent an opening. A first tubular member is fixed to and extends from the mounting structure. A first pleated filter element is disposed adjacent to the first tubular member. A first member has a threaded portion connected with the tubular member at a second axial end of the first filter element. A second filter element includes a second member having a threaded portion at a first axial end. A second tubular member is connected with and extends from the second member. A second pleated filter element is disposed adjacent to the second tubular member. The first and second threaded members are tubular. The threaded portions are threadedly engageable to connect the first filter element with the second filter element and permit fluid communication between the first and second filter elements. The threaded portions of the first and second members are located outside the axial extents of the first and second filter elements. At least one of the threaded portions has an outer diameter greater than the smallest inner diameter of the pleated filter elements.
