Wilkerson M18-03-CG00B Coalescing Filter 3/8 Port

Product Description

The WILKERSON M18-03-CG00B is a coalescing filter designed to remove oil aerosols, water droplets, and fine particulates from compressed air lines. Coalescing filtration works by causing small liquid droplets to merge into larger ones that drain away, protecting downstream equipment from contamination. The M18-03-CG00B features a 3/8 inch port connection, making it suitable for mid-size compressed air systems. Measuring 8.36 inches in height and 2.36 inches in width, it fits in standard inline filter positions. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance techs install this unit to maintain air quality in pneumatic control systems and tool supply lines.

This coalescing filter is used in residential and commercial applications wherever clean, dry compressed air is required. Common installations include pneumatic control systems, air-powered tools, spray finishing equipment, and instrumentation supply lines. It is particularly valuable upstream of sensitive pneumatic components such as regulators, valves, and actuators where oil or moisture contamination would cause premature wear or control failure. The 3/8 inch port size suits typical branch-line and point-of-use installations in light industrial and mechanical room environments.

Key Features

• Coalescing filter element removes oil aerosols and water droplets from compressed air
• 3/8 inch port connection fits standard inline compressed air piping
• Compact footprint at 2.36 inches wide for space-constrained installations
• Inline design allows straightforward integration into existing compressed air lines
• Protects downstream pneumatic equipment from contamination-related wear

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement coalescing filter for compressed air systems using 3/8 inch port inline filter housings compatible with the WILKERSON M18 series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air system service. Depressurize and lock out the air supply line completely before removing any existing filter or fitting the new unit. Follow applicable OSHA and local mechanical codes for compressed air system maintenance. Ensure flow direction arrows on the filter body are aligned with the direction of airflow before tightening connections to rated torque per fitting manufacturer guidelines.
