Wilkerson M18-02-CK00B Coalescing Filter 1/4 Port

Product Description

The WILKERSON M18-02-CK00B is a coalescing filter designed to remove liquid water, oil aerosols, and fine particulates from compressed air lines. Coalescing filtration works by forcing the airstream through a fiber matrix that causes sub-micron droplets to merge and drain away, protecting downstream pneumatic equipment, tooling, and instrumentation from contamination. The M18-02-CK00B features a 1/4 inch port size, making it suited for smaller compressed air distribution systems and branch-line applications. Licensed mechanical contractors and industrial maintenance technicians typically select this filter as part of a point-of-use air preparation assembly.

This coalescing filter is appropriate for light industrial, commercial HVAC, and general compressed air service where oil-free, dry air is required at the point of use. Typical installation scenarios include air preparation ahead of pneumatic actuators, control valves, spray equipment, and sensitive instrumentation. The 1/4 inch port size fits compact inline filter stations and modular filter-regulator-lubricator assemblies common in these applications.

Key Features

• Sold individually for single-point replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation coalescing filter for compressed air systems using 1/4 inch ported filter housings and modular air preparation assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air systems. Depressurize and lock out the air supply line completely before removing any existing filter or installing this unit. Follow all applicable plumbing and mechanical codes for compressed air piping, and use appropriate thread sealant rated for compressed air service on all port connections. Verify flow-direction markings on the filter body before final assembly to ensure correct airstream orientation.
