Overview
The Wilkerson F26-04-M00B is a particulate filter from Wilkerson’s proven F26 series, designed for compressed air treatment in industrial and commercial pneumatic systems. This unit features a metal bowl construction with manual drain capability, making it ideal for stationary installations where operator maintenance is preferred. The F26-04-M00B handles bulk water and particulate contamination removal, protecting downstream pneumatic tools and equipment from damage and maintaining system efficiency.
Key Features
- 5 Micron Filtration: Type “A” 5 micron elements meet or exceed ISO Class 3 for maximum particle size and concentration of solid contaminants
- 1/2″ NPT Port: Port Size: 1/2 NPT for standard industrial compressed air piping
- Metal Bowl Construction: Enhanced durability for demanding industrial environments
- Manual Drain: Operator-controlled water removal from the collection bowl
- High Flow Capacity: 1/2″ port: 149.8 SCFM rated flow for efficient air preparation
- Bulk Contamination Removal: Removes bulk water and particulate contamination
