Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010J
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010J 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 3/8" ports and a 60 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010J
The GAF30010J 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 40 um HDPE element traps fine grain. This is a filter only, with no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never controls pressure. With a 3/8in port and a 360 g body, it suits a 1/4in to 1/2in machine line.
This model ships without the mounting bracket (J code), so plan for a panel mount or an existing bracket. The semi-auto plus manual drain lets you empty the bowl on a schedule or automatically when the float lifts. Rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and -5 to 70 C, it must never freeze, so keep it out of unheated winter lines.

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 GAFR300-10 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 GAF30010J Is Used
CNC coolant lines
Protect a CNC machine's solenoid valves from water slugs and swarf in the shop air supply, with the 40 um element stopping particles that could score precision spools.
Pneumatic test bench
Feed a lab test bench that cycles cylinders and gauges, where the 60 cc bowl gives a reasonable interval between manual drains during a full shift.
Assembly station header
Mount on a small assembly station header feeding multiple hand tools, with the semi-auto drain handling the condensate that collects on a humid day.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010J the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body for a 3/8in port with a 60 cc bowl and a flow curve plotted to 6000 L/min, a step up from the GAF200's 3000 L/min envelope. The PC bowl is the standard build, while the C metal and N nylon options suit different environments, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. This J model omits the bracket, the blank drain gives both semi-auto and manual drains, and the 40 um element covers general shop air. The PT thread standard must match your fittings, and if you need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-10 filter-regulator instead. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure against the 0.9 MPa working top gives a 1.67x safety margin.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" 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 GAFR300-10 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010J FAQ
The GAF30010J is a 3/8in port air filter with a 40 um HDPE element, a 60 cc drain bowl and a 360 g weight. Its working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted, so you can use a panel mount or an existing bracket from a previous unit. This model still includes both the semi-auto and manual drains, and the 40 um element, but you must provide your own mounting solution.
