Wilkerson B18-04-FK00B Frl Filter Regulator 1/2 Npt

Product Description

The WILKERSON B18-04-FK00B is a compact, single-piece filter/regulator combination unit designed for compressed air systems in industrial and commercial settings. It filters and regulates supply air in a single body, reducing pressure drop and installation footprint compared to separate components. Rated at 164 SCFM with a maximum supply pressure of 150 psi, it handles high-flow pneumatic circuits without sacrificing regulation accuracy. The 5-micron filter element removes particulate contamination before air reaches downstream tooling, valves, or actuators. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This unit is suited for compressed air distribution lines in manufacturing, automation, and maintenance environments where panel space is limited. The compact Series 18 body fits installations where a full-size FRL would not. The 1/2 NPT port size makes it compatible with standard compressed air supply piping and manifold assemblies. Its modular connection design allows it to be joined with other Series 18 components for expanded FRL configurations. Operating temperature range is -13 degrees F to 125 degrees F, covering most indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• 164 SCFM flow capacity supports high-demand pneumatic circuits
• 5-micron filter rating removes fine particulate from compressed air supply
• 150 psi maximum supply pressure rating
• Manual drain for scheduled condensate removal from the 1.7-ounce polycarbonate bowl
• Modular connection supports integration with other Series 18 FRL components
• Bowl guard included for polycarbonate bowl protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit unit for Series 18 compact FRL installations using 1/2 NPT compressed air supply connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply line completely before installing or servicing this unit. Ensure NPT threads are sealed with appropriate thread sealant tape rated for compressed air service. Verify that downstream system operating pressure does not exceed the regulator outlet setting and that supply pressure does not exceed 150 psi.
