A filter container arrangement which permits ease of positioning, installation and maintenance within limited space allocable to such a device in applications such as a boat. The head plug being easily removably insertable to provide a large opening for removal and replacement of the filter element after which the head plug may be easily reinserted and the container sealed. The input and output mechanisms, mounted on the port plug, being non-incrementally rotatably and longitudinally adjustable to facilitate alignment of the input and output mechanisms with the input and output sources. A plurality of pressure monitor assembles which may incorporate a bleed valve for each of the input and output sides of the filter are mounted in the head plug to allow the user to determine the status of the filter element without opening the filter container.

An improved filter container arrangement adapted for positioning, installation and maintenance within limited space to an inlet source and an outlet source, and comprising, in combination: a unitarily fabricated housing having a hollow cylindrical shape with open ends, a head plug and a port plug enclosing said open ends; seal means between said head plug and said housing; seal means between said port plug and said housing; mounting means for removably attaching said head plug to said housing whereby said head plug is removable insertable into said housing within said limited space while re-establishing the ability of said seal means for said head plug to withstand a preselected internal pressure of said container without leaking under the conditions of assembly by the user and application of a preselected pressure; mounting means for attaching said port plug to said housing whereby said port plug is secured in place to withstand a preselected internal pressure of said container without leaking; sealable inlet port means adapted to allow independent rotational and longitudinal positioning of said inlet port means to mate with said inlet source yet maintain an inlet seal under the conditions of assembly by the user and application of a preselected pressure; sealable outlet port means adapted to allow independent rotational and longitudinal positioning of said outlet port means to mate with said outlet source yet maintain an outlet seal under the conditions of assembly by the user and application of a preselected pressure; and, a filter element mounted between said input port and said output port forming a first chamber and a second chamber. The arrangement defined in claim 1 further comprising: a plurality of monitor assembly mounts at least one communicating with said first chamber and another communicating with said second chamber; a monitor assembly mounted in each said monitor assembly mounts having a pressure indicator responsive to at least the pressure of said chamber to which said monitor assembly mount communicates.
