Wilkerson F18-03-SK00B Air Filter 3/8 in Npt 78 Scfm

Product Description

The WILKERSON F18-03-SK00B is a general purpose compressed air filter designed to remove moisture and particulates from pneumatic supply lines. It accepts a 3/8 in NPT port connection and delivers a rated flow capacity of 78 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), making it well suited for mid-range pneumatic systems and air preparation assemblies. The filter uses a sintered polyethylene filter media element and features a polycarbonate bowl with a nylon bowl guard for visibility and impact resistance. A manual drain and integrated sight glass allow for routine maintenance without removing the unit from the line. Pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this unit.

The F18-03-SK00B is designed for general purpose compressed air filtration in industrial and light commercial pneumatic systems. It fits into the Wilkerson Series 18 modular air preparation lineup, allowing it to be combined with regulators and lubricators in a modular FRL assembly. The 3/8 in NPT end connections make it compatible with standard compressed air distribution piping. With a minimum operating temperature rating of -13 degrees F, this filter is suitable for use in cold-storage or outdoor-adjacent installations where temperature drops may occur.

Designed as an OEM-style component within the Wilkerson Series 18 modular air preparation line. Modular connection feature allows pairing with compatible Series 18 regulators and lubricators to form an FRL assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before installing or servicing this filter. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to NPT connections and tighten to hand-tight plus a standard number of turns per fitting manufacturer guidance. Orient the bowl downward as intended for proper condensate collection, and verify manual drain operation after commissioning.
