Airtac GAF Filter GAF200N08W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF200N08W 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 GAF200N08W
The GAF200N08W is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 25 cc nylon drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only - it has no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never sets or controls pressure.
This 1/4in-port model weighs 200 g and is rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The nylon bowl is a build choice for your environment; the common specification is identical across PC, metal and nylon bowls, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings rather than assuming a performance difference.

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 GAF200N08W Is Used
Protect a single valve
Mount this 1/4in filter ahead of one solenoid valve or a small jig cylinder. The 5 um element keeps fine particles from sticking to spools and seats, while the 25 cc bowl catches water before it reaches the valve.
Portable tool station
Fit the GAF200N08W on a mobile service cart feeding one or two air tools. Its 200 g body is light enough for a small panel, and the semi-auto drain lets you purge water between jobs without disconnecting the line.
Instrument air pre-filter
Use the 5 um element to protect a sensitive pressure sensor or a precision pneumatic controller. The diversion structure drops water and solids into the bowl first, so the element lasts longer between services.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF200N08W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF200N08W when your line needs clean air at 1/4in port with a 5 um element for finer filtration. The nylon bowl suits environments where you prefer its material properties, while the included mounting bracket lets you secure the 200 g unit properly instead of supporting it from the tubing. The semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted, so you can purge condensate automatically or on demand. Thread is PT standard - match your fittings accordingly. If you also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead, since this GAF does not regulate. The 25 cc drain bowl holds about 2.4x less condensate than the GAF300's 60 cc bowl, so plan more frequent draining on wet lines.
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 GAF200N08W FAQ
The GAF200N08W is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working pressure and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The nylon drain bowl holds 25 cc and the unit weighs 200 g. Port is 1/4in PT thread.
The N means the drain bowl is nylon, chosen for its material properties in your specific environment - the common specification is identical to PC or metal bowls, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The W means the filter element is 5 um instead of the standard 40 um, trapping far finer particles for precision applications at the cost of more frequent element service.
