Wilkerson F18-04-SG00B Air Filter 1/2 in Npt 82 Scfm

Product Description

The WILKERSON F18-04-SG00B is a general purpose compressed air filter designed to remove contaminants from compressed air lines in industrial and commercial pneumatic systems. Rated at 82 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), it handles moderate to high flow demands common in production and service environments. The filter uses a sintered polyethylene media element to capture particulates before they reach downstream tools, valves, and equipment. An automatic drain removes accumulated liquid without manual intervention. A polycarbonate bowl with nylon bowl guard and integrated sight glass allows quick visual inspection of bowl condition and fluid level. Licensed technicians and maintenance professionals install this unit inline as part of a filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assembly or as a standalone filter station.

The F18-04-SG00B is suited for light manufacturing, general industrial, and mechanical service environments where a reliable inline air filter is required on 1/2 in NPT compressed air lines. The modular connection design allows it to be combined with other Series 18 components to build a complete air preparation assembly. It is appropriate for both new installations and direct replacement of aging filter bodies in existing FRL stations. Operating temperatures down to -13 degrees F extend usable range in cold storage or outdoor enclosure applications.

Key Features

• 82 SCFM flow rating supports moderate to high-demand pneumatic circuits on 1/2 in NPT lines
• Sintered polyethylene filter media captures solid particulates from the compressed air stream
• Automatic drain continuously removes collected liquid without manual service
• Polycarbonate bowl with nylon bowl guard provides impact resistance and clear bowl-level visibility
• Integrated sight glass allows at-a-glance inspection without disassembly
• Modular connection supports Series 18 FRL assembly configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use in Series 18 compressed air preparation systems with 1/2 in NPT end connections. Modular design allows direct integration with other Series 18 filter, regulator, and lubricator components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply completely before removing any existing filter body or connecting this unit. Ensure NPT threads are wrapped with appropriate thread sealant tape per shop practice and applicable compressed air piping standards. Mount the filter with the bowl oriented downward to allow proper automatic drain operation and condensate collection.
