The **Central Bolt / Stud** (part number 11216) is the main securing element that passes through the filter element (CAV 296) and the sediment bowl, screwing into the upper head (support). This threaded rod is crucial for holding the entire filter assembly together under the correct pressure, ensuring the sealing of the gaskets.

Important Notes
This bolt/stud is the standard size used for the **CAV 296** height filter. If the longer CAV 796 filter is used, a longer bolt/stud or the use of an extension (like part 11218) might be required. The length of this rod is critical for the correct compression and sealing of all components.
TECHNICAL TIP: Always check that the stud is not bent or damaged, as a defect can compromise the sealing and cause air to be drawn into the fuel circuit.
