The AirTAC Airtac BFR Air Filter Regulator BFR3000MNWG is a genuine A/B-line filter regulator with PT3/8" ports. It is the compact air-preparation line, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi) with a push-to-lock knob. Flow is confirmed from the datasheet on request.
The BFR3000MNWG is an AirTAC compact B-line filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in one body. This 3000-size unit has a 3/8 in female G (BSPP) port, a manual drain for emptying the PC bowl, and the finer 5 um filter element for applications that need cleaner air than the standard 40 um grade. The N in the code means it is supplied without a pressure gauge, and it is the standard (not low-pressure) type with a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) regulation range and a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum inlet pressure. This is a genuine AirTAC part from the compact A/B series (larger B-line body). The same filter-regulator function is available in 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in sizes and in PT or NPT thread on request. Because AirTAC does not publish flow as a single rated figure, we confirm the flow and full datasheet figures for your operating point on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC A/B-line air-preparation data. Drain type, filter grade, gauge and low-pressure options are set by the model-code suffix - see the description. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we confirm from the factory datasheet.
Choose the B-line BFR3000 when your line needs the larger compact body and 3/8 in porting; the smaller A-line AFR units cover 1/8 and 1/4 in duties, so match body size to required flow - ask us to confirm the flow figure from the datasheet rather than guessing. The 5 um W element here suits air-consumption points and finer applications; the standard 40 um grade is available in other codes. The manual drain (M) means an operator drains the PC bowl, unlike the A-coded automatic drain. This unit has no gauge (N), so add a separate gauge if a set-point indicator is required, and note the G-thread code for BSPP pipework - PT is the standard thread and NPT is orderable. Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
Installed at a 3/8 in air drop above a production line, the unit strips water and fine particulate and holds a steady regulated pressure to the machines on that drop. The manual drain is emptied as part of daily or weekly rounds.
Bench rigs and lab apparatus fed from a shop-air line use the 5 um element to deliver cleaner air to sensitive instruments and pneumatic test fixtures, with pressure set by the self-locking adjustment knob.
Form-fill-seal and cartoning machines with 3/8 in air connections take their control-air feed through this filter regulator, protecting valves and cylinders from condensate and fine dirt while keeping actuation pressure stable.
AirTAC does not publish flow for this unit as a single rated figure, and we will not quote an estimated number. The right flow depends on your inlet pressure and allowable pressure drop. Contact us with your operating conditions and we will confirm the flow figures from the AirTAC datasheet so you can size the 3000-size body correctly before ordering.
The M in BFR3000MNWG selects the manual drain: an operator opens the drain at the bottom of the PC bowl to discharge collected water, instead of the automatic drain fitted to A-coded variants. The N selects the no-gauge build, so the unit is supplied without a pressure gauge; order a gauge separately if you want to read the set pressure at the unit.
