Wilkerson B18-03-FK00B Filter Regulator 158 Scfm 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-03-FK00B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for inline compressed air preparation in pneumatic systems. It combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into one compact body, reducing installation space and connection points. The unit flows up to 158 SCFM and handles supply pressures up to 150 psi, making it well-suited for moderate to high-demand air circuits. The 5-micron filter element protects downstream equipment from particulate contamination. The aluminum body and polycarbonate bowl with bowl guard are standard for Series 18 FRL components. A manual drain allows scheduled condensate removal without disassembly. Licensed pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This filter/regulator is applied in industrial and commercial compressed air systems where space is limited and a combined filter and regulator function is preferred over separate components. The 3/8 NPT end connections fit standard compressed air plumbing in manufacturing, automation, and process equipment applications. The modular connection feature allows this unit to be integrated into a multi-unit FRL assembly alongside lubricators or other Series 18 components. Operating temperature range is -13 degrees F to 125 degrees F, suitable for most indoor industrial environments. The 1.7-ounce bowl capacity handles typical condensate loads in clean, dry air systems.

Key Features

• Single-piece filter/regulator design saves installation space and reduces plumbing connections
• 158 SCFM flow capacity supports moderate to high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 150 psi maximum supply pressure with manual drain for scheduled condensate removal
• 5-micron filtration rating protects downstream valves, actuators, and tooling
• Modular connection allows integration with other Series 18 FRL components
• Bowl guard included for polycarbonate bowl protection

Compatibility

Designed for use with WILKERSON Series 18 FRL assemblies. Modular connection is compatible with other Series 18 components. No pressure gauge is included; the 1/4 NPT gauge port accepts a separately sourced gauge if monitoring is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before installing or servicing this unit. Install in the proper flow direction as indicated on the body, and ensure all NPT connections are sealed with thread sealant rated for compressed air service. Do not exceed the 150 psi maximum supply pressure rating.
