Wilkerson B18-02-FL00B Filter Regulator 1/4 Npt 148 Scfm

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-02-FL00B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for compressed air systems in industrial and commercial pneumatic applications. It combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into one inline component, reducing installation footprint and simplifying maintenance. The unit handles a maximum supply pressure of 250 psi and flows up to 148 SCFM, making it well-suited for moderate- to high-flow pneumatic circuits. The 5-micron filter element removes particulates and moisture before air reaches downstream tools, valves, or actuators. Port size is 1/4 NPT. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

This filter/regulator is built for use in factory automation, production equipment, and general industrial pneumatic lines where a compact installation envelope is required. Its Series 18 modular design supports connection to other compatible Wilkerson Series 18 modular FRL components, allowing system builders to expand or reconfigure units without replumbing. The aluminum body and aluminum bowl keep overall weight low at 1.17 pounds. The unit is suitable for systems operating between -13 degrees F and 150 degrees F, covering most indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• Single-piece filter/regulator configuration reduces installation space compared to separate components
• 148 SCFM flow capacity suits moderate- to high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 250 psi maximum supply pressure with 1/4 NPT end connections
• 5-micron filtration rating removes fine particulates from compressed air supply
• Integrated sight glass allows visual bowl level check without disassembly
• Modular Series 18 design supports inline connection with compatible Wilkerson FRL components
• Manual drain and 1.7 oz bowl capacity for routine condensate removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compact filter/regulator for 1/4 NPT pneumatic systems. Compatible with Wilkerson Series 18 modular FRL configurations. Consult Wilkerson Series 18 documentation to confirm module-to-module connection compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance mechanic or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize the entire compressed air circuit and lockout/tagout the air supply before installing or servicing this unit. Mount the unit vertically with the bowl facing downward to ensure proper condensate collection and manual drain function. Do not exceed the 250 psi maximum supply pressure rating, and verify downstream pressure requirements before setting the regulator output.
