Abstract:
An adapter clip is provided for a filter assembly that includes a housing, a specialized replaceable filter element, and an extension and locking mechanism for cooperating with the specialized filter element to preclude operation of the filter assembly without a specialized filter element. The adapter clip will render the extension and locking mechanism inoperative and permit the use of a universal filter element. Also, the use of the adapter clip will enable filter assembly operation without any filter installed, as may be desirable in emergency situations.
