Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08AJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08AJ 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 GAF200C08AJ
The GAF200C08AJ is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into a 25 cc metal bowl, while the HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only, with no regulator, gauge, or lubricator, and it does not control pressure.
This model uses a 1/4in port, a 40 um element, and an automatic drain. The metal bowl and missing bracket (J) make it a build choice for panels or existing mounts. Weighing 200 g, it is the lightest GAF body and suits compact machines.

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 GAF200C08AJ Is Used
Compact Jig Protection
Protect a single pneumatic jig or small fixture on a bench. The 1/4in port and 200 g mass fit tight spaces without overloading the frame.
Solenoid Valve Feed
Feed one solenoid valve or a small cylinder with clean air. The 40 um element stops pipe scale and water from jamming the spool.
Panel Mount Retrofit
Mount directly to an existing panel or machine frame using the J bracket omission. The automatic drain suits a line that runs unattended for a shift.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08AJ the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF200 body for 1/8in or 1/4in ports, and step up to a GAF300 for 3/8in or 1/2in lines with a 60 cc bowl. The metal bowl is a build choice, not a performance upgrade, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The automatic drain (A) handles wet lines without manual attention, while the J code means no bracket is included, so plan for a panel mount. The 40 um element is the general-purpose grade, and the PT thread is the default standard. If you also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. The proof pressure of 1.5 MPa is about 1.67x the top of the 0.9 MPa working range, a burst-test margin, not a running limit.
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 GAF200C08AJ FAQ
This filter uses a 40 um HDPE element, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and a temperature range of -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 25 cc and the unit weighs 200 g.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual intervention. This is ideal for wet lines or unattended operation, unlike the blank drain option which ships with both semi-auto and manual drains.
