Wilkerson B18-02-FK00B Filter Regulator 148 Scfm 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-02-FK00B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for compressed air systems. It performs both filtration and pressure regulation in one inline body, reducing the number of components needed in a pneumatic circuit. The unit handles up to 150 psi supply pressure and delivers a rated flow of 148 SCFM, making it suitable for moderate to high-flow industrial and commercial applications. The aluminum body keeps weight low at 1.17 pounds. A 5-micron filter element captures particulates before air reaches downstream tooling, valves, or instrumentation. Licensed pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

This filter/regulator is suited for compressed air distribution lines in manufacturing, assembly, and process environments. Its compact body format fits tight panel or manifold installations where space is limited. The 1/4 NPT port size is common in smaller pneumatic circuits powering actuators, solenoid valves, and precision air tools. The modular connection design allows integration with compatible Series 18 components. The polycarbonate bowl with bowl guard provides visible condensate monitoring, and the manual drain allows controlled moisture removal during routine maintenance.

Key Features

• Single-piece filter and regulator design reduces plumbing connections and installation footprint
• 148 SCFM flow capacity supports moderate to high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 150 psi maximum supply pressure rating
• 5-micron filtration removes particulates before air reaches downstream equipment
• Polycarbonate bowl with bowl guard allows visual condensate level inspection
• Modular connection compatible with Series 18 FRL components
• Manual drain for controlled condensate removal

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Wilkerson Series 18 modular FRL system. Modular connection allows pairing with compatible Series 18 lubricators, filters, and accessories. Confirm port size and flow requirements match the target pneumatic circuit before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pneumatic or industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply completely before removing or installing any FRL component. Apply appropriate thread sealant to NPT connections per shop standards and confirm all fittings are leak-free before returning the system to service. Orient the bowl downward per standard FRL practice to allow proper condensate collection and draining.
