  • FILTRATION ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF MAINTAINING COMPRESSION OF FILTRATION UNITS IN FILTRATION ASSEMBLIES
    Publication number: 20080135499
    Abstract: A filtration assembly may comprise first and second end pieces having inner and outer faces, at least one filtration unit between the inner faces of the first and second end pieces, and at least one compression rod arrangement extending between the end pieces. The compression rod arrangement may comprise an unthreaded compression rod and a locking device mounted to the compression rod to maintain compression of the filtration unit between the end pieces.
