The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08AJW is a genuine compressed-air filter. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles down to 5 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 GAF200C08AJW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 25 cc metal drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. This 1/4in unit weighs 200 g and is built for protecting a single valve or small jig from contamination.
This filter-only model has no regulator and no pressure gauge; it cleans the air but does not control pressure. With its metal bowl and automatic drain, it suits lines where condensate builds up quickly and manual draining is inconvenient. The unit's small size means it should be mounted on a panel or frame rather than supported by the 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.

Feed a single solenoid valve on a small indexing table. The 5 um element keeps fine wear particles from scoring the valve spool, and the automatic drain clears condensate without stopping the cycle.
Mount this 200 g filter ahead of an air screwdriver or nibbler on a workbench. The metal bowl survives shop knocks, and the compact body fits tight spaces near the tool inlet.
Use it to clean air for a leak tester or a small pressure transducer. The 5 um element traps fine particles that could block tiny orifices, while the automatic drain handles moisture from a humid compressor line.
Choose the GAF200 body for 1/8in or 1/4in ports, and step up to the GAF300 body if you need a 60 cc bowl with a 6000 L/min flow envelope. The metal bowl here is a build choice for tougher environments; confirm compatibility with your surroundings since no chemical or impact data is published. This model has the automatic drain for unattended operation, omits the bracket for panel mounting, and uses the 5 um element for finer filtration. The PT thread standard must match your fittings. If you also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure gives about a 1.67x margin over the 0.9 MPa top of the working range.
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.
This AirTAC GAF200 air filter has a 1/4in port, a 5 um filtering grade, a 25 cc metal drain bowl, and weighs 200 g. The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It uses an HDPE filter core and has an automatic drain.
The automatic drain expels accumulated condensate without manual intervention, making it suitable for unattended operation or wet air lines. This model also has a metal bowl and no mounting bracket, so it is designed for panel mounting or use with an existing bracket.
