The AirTAC Airtac GAF Air Filters GAF20008T is a genuine compressed-air filter. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles down to 40 µm, protecting downstream valves and tools. It has 1/4" ports and a 25 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.
The GAF20008T is a filter-only AirTAC unit for compressed air lines with a 1/4in NPT port. Inside, a diversion passage spins the airstream so liquid water and solid grit are flung out into the 25 cc drain bowl, while the 40 um HDPE element catches the finer dust that remains. Nothing downstream gets set or adjusted by this unit: it has no regulator, no gauge and no knob, so pressure control stays with a separate device.
As the smallest stocked body in the GAF range, the 200 class weighs just 200 g and suits point-of-use positions rather than a main header. This SKU ships with both a semi-automatic drain and a manual drain valve fitted to the polycarbonate bowl, plus a mounting bracket so the filter can sit on a panel instead of hanging on its tubing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAF catalogue (pages 225-226). Air must not freeze in the unit. This is a filter only — it separates water and solid particles but does not set or hold a downstream pressure. To regulate pressure as well, use the matching GAFR200 filter-regulator.

A GAF has no regulator and no pressure gauge — there is no type, gauge or reflux code. Need to regulate pressure too? The matching GAFR200-08 is the same filter with a built-in regulator.
Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. A filter this size drops less pressure at flow than the same-body GAFR filter-regulator, so match it to your peak demand.

A single 1/4in drop feeding a small impact tool or air pencil at a workbench stays clean when a 40 um filter sits ahead of the fitting.
Clamp cylinders on a small fixture need water kept out of the valve; a 200-body filter with semi-auto drain handles that duty without robbing pressure.
One compact actuator on a cartoning or labelling table is protected from grit and condensate by a point-of-use filter before the solenoid valve.
Pick the 200 body when the load is a single valve, a small jig or a bench tool; the 1/4in port and 25 cc bowl are matched to light, dry point-of-use duties, and moving up to the GAF300 body raises the drain bowl to 60 cc for longer service between empties. The blank drain position on this model means both a semi-automatic and a manual drain arrive installed, so condensate leaves the bowl without you fitting anything extra. The polycarbonate (PC) bowl is the standard choice; if the surroundings are aggressive, ask us to confirm material compatibility rather than assuming. The included bracket keeps the 200 g body rigid, the 40 um element covers general workshop air, and the T at the end of the code fixes the port thread to NPT, so match your fittings to that standard. Anyone who also needs a set pressure should add the matching GAFR200-08 or a separate GAR regulator, because a plain GAF never regulates. Stepping up to the GAF300 body lifts the plotted flow curve to 6000 L/min, exactly a 2x envelope over this model's 3000 L/min, which is the cleanest way to size up.
Quick checklist
This is a filter only — it removes water and solid particles but adds no pressure control and no lubrication. Add a GAR regulator, a GAL lubricator, or step up to the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
It is a filter-only unit with a 40 um HDPE element and a 1/4in NPT port. Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the rated temperature span is -5 to 70 C with no freezing allowed. The drain bowl holds 25 cc of condensate and the unit weighs 200 g. Flow is published only as a plotted curve to 3000 L/min, which serves as a sizing envelope rather than a rated figure.
Because there is no A in the code, both a semi-automatic drain and a manual drain valve arrive fitted to the 25 cc bowl. The semi-automatic side dumps collected water as conditions allow, while the manual screw lets an operator empty the bowl on demand during checks. For an unattended line with heavy condensate, order the A-suffix variant instead, which carries a fully automatic drain.
