Abstract: A housing (1) for the filtration of liquid media, comprising at least one filter candle (2), which has a fluid-tight transition region (10) of a lower annular end cap (6, 6?) with central outlet (7) to a fluid-permeable outer casing (9) and has a tubular adapter (8, 8?) connected to the end cap (6, 6?), and further comprising a housing top part (3) and a housing bottom part (4) having a housing bottom (5), which latter exhibits at least one cylindrical opening (11) for the reception of the adapter (8, 8?) and separates a non-filtrate chamber (14) surrounding the outer casing (9) of the filter candle (2) from a filtrate chamber (16) connected to the central outlet (7), at least a first seal (18) being provided between the cylindrical opening (11) and the filter candle (2), which seal forms a barrier to the filtrate chamber (16), characterized in that the fluid-tight transition region (10) is received in an end cap receiving region (12) of the cylindrical opening (11) and at least terminates with the base surfa
