Wilkerson M18-02-BL00B Coalescing Filter 1/4 in Port

Product Description

The WILKERSON M18-02-BL00B is a coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, water droplets, and fine particulates from compressed air lines. It serves as a critical point-of-use or inline filtration component in pneumatic systems, protecting downstream equipment such as pneumatic tools, actuators, valves, and instrumentation. The unit features a 1/4 inch port and includes an integrated sight glass for visual inspection of fluid accumulation in the bowl. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance technicians, and pneumatic system installers are the typical end users for this type of component.

This coalescing filter is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic installations, as well as industrial compressed air distribution systems where oil carryover from the compressor must be controlled. The 1/4 inch port size makes it appropriate for smaller-diameter compressed air branch lines and point-of-use drops. It is commonly installed downstream of a primary particulate filter and upstream of regulators, lubricators, or sensitive pneumatic instrumentation in standard FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) configurations.

Key Features

• Coalescing filter design removes oil aerosols and water mist from compressed air streams
• 1/4 inch port size fits common small-bore pneumatic line fittings
• Integrated sight glass allows visual monitoring of bowl fluid level without disassembly
• Compact footprint at 2.36 inches wide and 8.36 inches tall for installation in tight spaces
• Lightweight construction at 0.71 pounds for easy inline mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation coalescing filter for compressed air systems using 1/4 inch ported connections in standard pneumatic FRL and inline filtration assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or mechanical systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the compressed air line completely before installing or servicing this filter. Follow applicable OSHA compressed air safety standards and local mechanical codes when working on pressurized pneumatic systems. Do not exceed the rated operating pressure of the filter assembly, and ensure flow direction is observed as marked on the body.
