A filter housing having a lid that mates with the vessel portion. An arm with an inclined feature is secured to the lid and is movable with respect to the vessel portion. A rotational member that is rotatable with respect to the vessel portion engages the inclined feature. The rotational member is restrained from longitudinal movement so that rotation of it causes movement of the arm with respect to the vessel portion and therefore, moves the lid with respect to the vessel portion so that the lid may be separated from the vessel portion.
