A filter has first and second fittings, a permeable filter medium, and a housing. The housing defines a fluid flow path within the housing between the first and second fittings, and the permeable filter medium is arranged in the fluid flow path to remove one or more substances from a fluid flowing along the fluid flow path. A finger hold is positioned in an upper region of the housing, the finger hold defining a space that is sufficient to allow one or more fingers of an operator to fit in the space and grasp the filter.

1. A filter comprising: first and second fittings;a permeable filter medium;a housing having a longitudinal axis, an upper region, a top, a bottom and an exterior, wherein the housing defines a fluid flow path within the housing between the first and second fittings, the permeable filter medium being arranged in the fluid flow path to remove one or more substances from a fluid flowing along the fluid flow path, wherein the housing includes a body having a top and a flange at the top of the body, wherein the body contains the filter medium, wherein the flange has a first region that extends outwardly from the body in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and has a drip reservoir and a wall surrounding the drip reservoir, the first and second fittings being positioned in the drip reservoir surrounded by the wall; anda finger hold positioned in the upper region of the housing and including a first portion that extends outwardly from the exterior of the housing, a second portion that extends downwardly toward the bottom of the housing from the first portion, and a third portion that extends from the second portion inwardly toward the exterior of the housing, wherein the first, second and third portions are integrally formed with one another and define a closed loop for receiving one or more fingers of the operator; wherein the housing exterior includes a knuckle rest that extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis below the finger hold and defines a surface that is spaced from the finger hold in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and allows one or more knuckles of the operator to rest against the housing with one or more fingers in the finger hold, wherein the finger hold extends from the flange. 2. The filter of claim 1 wherein the first and second fittings are positioned at the top of the housing. 3. The filter of claim 1 wherein the finger hold is located at the top of the body on one side of the housing. 4. The filter of claim 1 wherein the first portion of the finger hold extends from the wall. 5. The filter of claim 1 further comprising a cap attachable to the housing to enclose the drip reservoir. 6. The filter of claim 1 wherein the first and second fittings each include a receptacle for receiving a nozzle of a manifold. 7. A filter comprising: first and second fittings, each of the first and second fittings having a top;a permeable filter medium;a housing having an exterior, an upper region, a bottom and a longitudinal axis, wherein the housing defines a fluid flow path within the housing between the first and second fittings, the permeable filter medium being arranged in the fluid flow path to remove one or more substances from a fluid flowing along the fluid flow path, and wherein the housing further includes a body and a flange at the top of the body, wherein the body contains the permeable filter medium and the flange has a first region that extends outwardly from the body in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the flange has a drip reservoir including a basin and a wall having a top and surrounding the drip reservoir, the first and second fittings being positioned within the drip reservoir at the top of the body surrounded by the wall such that the top of each of the first and second fittings is even with or below the top of the wall, and wherein the first region of the flange defines a ledge facing downwardly toward the bottom of the housing and extending in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis on opposite sides of the body; and a finger hold including a first portion that extends outwardly from the wall of the flange in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a second portion that extends downwardly toward the bottom of the housing from the first portion in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein the length and width of the second portion and the distance between the second portion and the wall of the flange define a space that is sufficient to allow one or more fingers of an operator to fit in the space, wherein the finger hold further includes a third portion that extends from the second portion inwardly towards the housing in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the first, second, and third portions are integrally formed and define a closed loop, the space being located within the closed loop, the housing further comprising a knuckle rest that extends in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis along the body below the finger hold, the knuckle rest defining a surface on the body that is sufficiently close to the finger hold to allow one or more knuckles of the operator to rest against the body with one or more fingers in the finger hold.
