Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08 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.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08
The GAF200C08 is a genuine AirTAC air filter that uses a diversion structure to spin incoming air, throwing liquid water and solid particles into its 25 cc metal drain bowl. Its 40 um HDPE element then traps fine grain, protecting downstream valves and cylinders from contamination. This unit is a filter only; it does not regulate pressure or add lubrication.
This model has a 1/4in port and weighs 200 g, placing it in the compact GAF200 size class. The metal bowl is a build choice for environments where a polycarbonate bowl may not be suitable; confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The included mounting bracket supports the unit properly, so the tubing does not bear its weight.

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.

Where the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08 Is Used
Protect a Precision Jig
Mount this filter upstream of a small pneumatic jig or fixture. The 40 um element and water-separating cyclone keep condensate and scale from affecting alignment pins or clamping cylinders.
Feed a Single Air Tool
Use it on a dedicated line to a die grinder or impact wrench. The 25 cc bowl is sized for intermittent tool use, and the manual drain lets the operator empty it during routine checks.
Guard a Pilot Valve
Install before a solenoid pilot valve on a small indexing table. Clean, dry air extends the life of the valve's internal seals and prevents sticky operation from particulate contamination.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08 the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF200 body for small tools, single valves, or jigs with 1/8in or 1/4in ports. This model uses a 1/4in port and a metal bowl; the bowl material is a build choice, not a performance spec. It ships with the standard semi-auto and manual drains, the mounting bracket, and a 40 um element. For finer filtration, select the W option for a 5 um element. The port thread is PT; G and NPT are also available. If you need pressure control, pair this filter with a GAR regulator or choose the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure provides a 1.67x margin over the 0.9 MPa working maximum, a safety buffer for burst testing, not a license to exceed the rated range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm (general) or 5 µm (fine)
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J)
- ✓ Need pressure control too? Use GAFR200
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, bowl accessible.
- check Place the filter FIRST in the air-prep train, ahead of any regulator or lubricator.
- check Keep pressure at or below the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit.
- check Drain condensate before the 25 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 200 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
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.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08 FAQ
The GAF200C08 is a filter only with a 40 um HDPE element. Its working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 25 cc drain bowl and weighs 200 g.
The C code specifies a metal bowl instead of the standard polycarbonate. This is a build or environment choice; the filtration performance is identical. The unit still has a semi-auto drain and a manual drain for condensate removal. Confirm material compatibility for your specific operating environment.
