Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008JW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008JW 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 60 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008JW
The GAF30008JW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that removes water and solid particles from compressed air lines. It uses a diversion structure to spin the air, throwing liquid and debris into the 60 cc drain bowl while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. This unit is a filter only, with no regulator or pressure gauge.
This model has a 1/4in port and weighs 360 g, placing it in the GAF300 size class. The included semi-auto and manual drains let you choose between automatic condensate release or manual control. With a 5 um element, it provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um for applications needing cleaner air.

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.

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 GAF30008JW Is Used
Precision valve protection
Protect sensitive pneumatic valves and cylinders on a small assembly fixture. The 5 um element stops fine abrasive grain that could cause premature wear in precision components.
Instrument air pre-filter
Use as a first-stage filter ahead of sensitive instrumentation. The 5 um element captures particles that standard 40 um filters would pass, extending the life of downstream components.
Maintenance workshop lines
Fit to a workbench air outlet feeding blow guns and small tools. The 60 cc bowl with semi-auto drain handles typical workshop condensate between manual checks.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30008JW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body for 1/4in to 1/2in port lines needing 60 cc condensate capacity and a 6000 L/min flow envelope. The PC bowl suits general-purpose use, while the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um. This model has no mounting bracket (J), so plan for panel mounting or use an existing bracket. The PT thread standard matches common local fittings. For pressure control, pair this filter with a separate GAR regulator or upgrade to the GAFR300-08 filter-regulator. The 6000 L/min flow envelope is 2x the GAF200's 3000 L/min, showing this body handles significantly higher air demand.
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 GAF30008JW FAQ
The GAF30008JW is an air filter with a 5 um HDPE element, 1/4in PT ports, and a 60 cc drain bowl. It weighs 360 g and operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted. This suits installations where the filter mounts to an existing panel, frame, or bracket system. If you need the standard bracket, order without the J code, such as GAF30008W.
