Wilkerson B18-03-FKG0B Filter Regulator 3/8 Npt 158 Scfm

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-03-FKG0B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for compressed air systems in industrial and commercial pneumatic applications. It integrates air filtration and pressure regulation into one body, reducing installation footprint and plumbing connections. The unit features a 3/8 NPT port, handles up to 150 psi supply pressure, and delivers a maximum flow rate of 158 SCFM. A 5-micron filter element removes particulate contamination before regulated air reaches downstream equipment. The aluminum body and polycarbonate bowl with bowl guard provide durability while keeping the unit lightweight at 1.17 pounds. A pressure gauge is included for direct line-of-sight monitoring.

This filter/regulator is suited for point-of-use or branch-line installations in production facilities, maintenance shops, and automated equipment lines. It installs on compressed air distribution systems where both filtration and regulation are required at a single service point. The compact body style is well suited for installations where panel space or mounting clearance is limited. The modular connection design allows integration with compatible Series 18 components for expanded FRL configurations. Operating temperature range runs from -13 degrees F to 125 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in compressed air systems requiring combined filtration and pressure regulation at a 3/8 NPT connection point. Compatible with Series 18 modular FRL components for multi-unit configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before mounting or servicing this unit. Follow the applicable pneumatic system codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for pipe thread sealant application on NPT connections. Mount the unit in a vertical orientation with the bowl facing downward to ensure proper condensate collection and manual drain operation.
