Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08W 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.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08W
The GAF200C08W 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 filter-only unit has no regulator, no gauge and no lubricator; it cleans the air but does not control pressure.
With a 1/4in port and a 200 g mass, this compact unit suits small jigs or a single valve. The metal bowl is a build choice for demanding environments; confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings, as no temperature or chemical data is printed. The 5 um element captures far finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision applications.

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 GAF200C08W Is Used
Protect a precision jig
Mount this 1/4in filter ahead of a small pneumatic jig or fixture. The 5 um element stops fine grain from scoring precision surfaces, and the 200 g body is light enough for direct machine mounting.
Guard a single air tool
Feed one blow gun or small cylinder with clean air. The 25 cc metal bowl collects water and rust flakes before they reach the tool, and the manual drain gives you positive control over purging.
Clean air for a pilot valve
Use this filter on the supply to a single solenoid valve or pilot operator. The 5 um element keeps fine particles out of tight valve clearances, reducing the risk of sticking or leaking.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200C08W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF200 body for 1/8in or 1/4in ports; step up to a GAF300 (60 cc bowl, 6000 L/min curve) if you need more condensate capacity or flow. The metal bowl (C) is a build/environment choice, and the 5 um (W) element suits precision valves or instrument air at the cost of more frequent element service. This model includes the mounting bracket, has both semi-auto and manual drains fitted, and uses PT port threads; match your fittings to PT, G or NPT. If the line also needs a set pressure, use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure is about 1.67x the 0.9 MPa top of the working range, a burst-test margin, not permission to run above 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 GAF200C08W FAQ
The GAF200C08W is a filter-only unit with a 5 um filtering grade, 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. It has a 25 cc drain bowl and weighs 200 g.
The C indicates a metal bowl. This is a build and environment choice; the common specification is the same for PC, nylon, and metal bowls. Confirm compatibility with any aggressive chemicals or solvents, as no specific chemical resistance data is printed.
