Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008A
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008A 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 60 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008A
The GAF30008A is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc drain bowl, while the HDPE core traps fine grain. It is a filter only, with no regulator, no pressure gauge and no adjusting knob, so it cleans the air but never sets or controls pressure.
This model uses a 1/4in port, a 40 um element and a transparent PC bowl, and it weighs 360 g. Its automatic drain opens by itself, which suits unattended lines, and its flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min for sizing against the smaller GAF200 class.

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 GAFR300 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 GAFR300-08 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 GAF30008A Is Used
Single valve protection
Feed a clean 1/4in supply to a single solenoid valve or small actuator on a bench rig, keeping water and 40 um grain out of the moving parts.
Light assembly station
Mount this 360 g filter ahead of a pneumatic screwdriver or a small press at a manual assembly cell, with the automatic drain handling condensate between shifts.
Short machine branch
Protect a short branch feeding two or three cylinders on a compact machine, where the 60 cc bowl gives a reasonable service interval without a large footprint.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008A the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body when a 1/4in or 3/8in port with a 60 cc drain bowl fits your line; it sits between the GAF200 (25 cc bowl, 3000 L/min curve) and the GAF400 (100 cc bowl, 8000 L/min curve). The PC bowl is the standard build, while the metal and nylon options are alternative materials for different environments, so confirm compatibility with aggressive surroundings. This A version has an automatic drain, the bracket is included, and the element is the general-purpose 40 um grade, with a PT port thread standard. If you also need a set pressure, the matching GAFR300-08 adds a built-in regulator, but this GAF itself does not regulate. The GAF300's 6000 L/min flow envelope is exactly 2x the GAF200's 3000 L/min, which shows the step up in capacity between the two bodies.
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 GAFR300
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 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 360 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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008A FAQ
The GAF30008A is a filter only with a 40 um HDPE element, a 60 cc PC drain bowl and a 360 g weight. Its 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 has a 1/4in PT port and an automatic drain.
The A code means an automatic drain, so it expels collected condensate by itself without an operator. This suits unattended lines or wet compressed air, whereas a blank drain code would ship both semi-auto and manual drains for periodic checking.
