Wilkerson M18-02-CG00B Coalescing Filter 1/4 Port

Product Description

The WILKERSON M18-02-CG00B is a coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, liquid water, and fine particulate from compressed air lines. Coalescing filtration works by causing tiny aerosol droplets to merge into larger droplets that drain away, protecting downstream equipment from contamination. This unit features a 1/4 inch port size and a compact form factor suited to point-of-use installation in pneumatic systems. It is installed by pneumatic system technicians, maintenance mechanics, and HVAC-R service professionals who require clean, dry air upstream of sensitive instrumentation, valves, or air-driven tools.

This coalescing filter is appropriate for residential and light commercial compressed air systems where oil carryover from compressors must be controlled. Typical installations include air preparation trains feeding pneumatic controls, spray equipment, or process instrumentation. The 1/4 inch port size suits smaller-diameter supply lines common in single-tool drops or instrument air branches. It is intended for use as part of a filter-regulator-lubricator assembly or as a standalone coalescing stage.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement coalescing filter for compressed air preparation systems using 1/4 inch ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or mechanical technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any filter body or element. Confirm port thread type and size before assembly to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable compressed air system codes and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for maximum allowable pressure at the filter inlet.
