Wilkerson B18-03-FL00B Filter Regulator 3/8 Npt 158 Scfm

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-03-FL00B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for compressed air systems in industrial and commercial applications. It combines air filtration and pressure regulation into one compact body, reducing installation footprint and connection points. The unit handles up to 250 psi supply pressure and delivers a flow rate of 158 SCFM through a 3/8 NPT port. The 5-micron filter element removes particulate contamination before regulated air reaches downstream equipment. A manual drain allows technicians to purge condensate from the 1.7-ounce aluminum bowl as part of routine maintenance. This unit is appropriate for pneumatic tool lines, process air systems, and general-purpose compressed air distribution.

The B18-03-FL00B is suited for both residential shop environments and light industrial facilities where a compact inline air treatment solution is required. The Series 18 design supports modular connection, allowing it to be combined with other Series 18 components such as lubricators or additional regulators to build a full FRL train. A 1/4 NPT gauge port is included for field installation of a pressure gauge. The unit operates across a temperature range of -13 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it compatible with a wide range of indoor and covered-outdoor pneumatic installations.

Key Features

• Single-piece filter/regulator design reduces plumbing connections and saves panel space
• 158 SCFM flow capacity through 3/8 NPT ports supports high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 250 psi maximum supply pressure rating for compatibility with standard industrial compressed air systems
• 5-micron filtration removes fine particulate before air reaches tools or valves
• Aluminum bowl with integral sight glass allows visual condensate level monitoring without removal
• Modular connection design supports expansion into a full FRL assembly using compatible Series 18 components
• Manual drain for scheduled condensate purging during routine service

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Wilkerson Series 18 modular FRL system. Compatible with other Series 18 modular components for expanded air treatment configurations. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement filter/regulator in compressed air distribution systems using 3/8 NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or pipefitter. Isolate and fully depressurize the compressed air line before installing or servicing this unit. Ensure inlet and outlet flow direction matches system requirements and that the 3/8 NPT threads are properly sealed with thread sealant tape or compound rated for compressed air service. Consult applicable local codes and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout/tagout procedures before beginning work.
