Zusammenfassung:An improved sealing grommet for a spin-on type fluid filter has an annular flange coupled to an interior wall of the grommet body which sealingly engages filter adapter standpipes of varying diameters. An annular cavity, formed by the interior wall of the grommet body and the annular flange, allows pressurized fluid within the annular cavity to exert forces against the surface of the cavity to thereby enhance the sealing engagement between the filter element, the base plate and the filter adapter standpipe.
