Abstract: A modular filter assembly for use in a fluid filtering system comprising a housing for a filter media. The housing has an open end and a closed end. The modular filter assembly further comprises a collar for attachment to the open end of the housing. The collar defines a collar orifice. A removable locking element is configured to be received at the collar orifice. The modular filter assembly also comprises cooperating structure between the collar and the removable locking element for releasably attaching the removable locking element to the collar for selective access to the filter media within the housing. The housing can be one of a plurality of select lengths to receive a filter media that is a corresponding one of several lengths.
