Wilkerson F18-02-SH00B Compressed Air Filter 1/4 in Npt

Product Description

The WILKERSON F18-02-SH00B is a general purpose compressed air filter designed to remove contaminants from compressed air lines in pneumatic systems. Rated at 50 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), it accepts a 1/4 in NPT connection and features an automatic drain to continuously discharge accumulated moisture without manual intervention. The sintered polyethylene filter media traps particulates before they reach downstream equipment. The aluminum bowl paired with a nylon bowl guard provides durable, lightweight construction suited for industrial and light commercial service. Licensed technicians and pneumatic system specialists install this filter as part of filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assemblies or as a standalone inline filter.

This filter is appropriate for general purpose compressed air applications in manufacturing, HVAC controls, automated machinery, and similar environments where clean, dry air is required at the point of use. The modular connection design allows it to integrate into Wilkerson Series 18 modular FRL assemblies. It ships as a single unit and is suitable for installations where a 1/4 in NPT port size matches the downstream demand of up to 50 SCFM.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in Wilkerson Series 18 modular compressed air filter assemblies and as a standalone inline filter for 1/4 in NPT compressed air lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air system components. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before installing or servicing this filter. Verify port thread type and size match the existing line before assembly. Follow applicable OSHA and local codes governing compressed air system maintenance and component replacement.
