Claim Text:
1. A replaceable filter for a liquid filter cartridge system comprising a valve body having a fluid inlet passage and a fluid outlet passage, a valve actuator having a fluid inlet passage and a fluid outlet passage, with the valve body and valve actuator being relatively rotatable to control fluid flow through the valve body and the valve actuator by aligning and unaligning the respective fluid inlet passages and fluid outlet passages, the replaceable filter comprising: a cartridge defining an interior; a filter body located within the interior; a first end provided on the cartridge having an end face, a fluid inlet passage extending through the end face into the interior, and a fluid outlet passage extending through the end face into the interior; a rotational coupler provided on the first end rotationally coupling the cartridge with the valve actuator for co-rotation; and a face seal provided on the end face and arranged to abut the valve actuator when the cartridge is coupled with the valve actuator; wherein when the cartridge is coupled with the valve actuator for co-rotation, the face seal abuts the valve actuator to form a seal between the first end and the valve actuator that fluidly seals the fluid inlet passage and the fluid outlet passage of the first end.
