Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010W 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 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 GAF30010W
The GAF30010W is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE element captures fine grain. It is a filter only, with no regulator or gauge, and it does not control pressure.
This 3/8in port model weighs 360 g and is rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working pressure. The PC bowl and included mounting bracket make it a straightforward choice for protecting downstream valves and tools from water and dirt.

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 GAF30010W Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machining center with 5 um filtered air to prevent fine abrasive grain from scoring spool surfaces.
Medium actuator lines
Protect a 3/8in line feeding several medium-bore cylinders on an assembly fixture, where the 60 cc bowl handles typical condensate between shifts.
Instrument air pre-filter
Install before a sensitive pressure switch or flow meter to keep water droplets and rust scale out of the sensing element, extending its service life.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body for 1/4in to 1/2in port lines, with a 6000 L/min flow envelope that suits medium-sized actuators. The PC bowl is the standard build, while the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the 40 um default, ideal for precision valves. This model includes the mounting bracket and uses PT port threads; the semi-auto plus manual drain handles routine maintenance. For a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-10 filter-regulator instead. The GAF300's 60 cc bowl holds about 2.4x the condensate of the GAF200's 25 cc, meaning fewer drain checks.
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 GAF30010W FAQ
The GAF30010W is a filter only with a 5 um HDPE element, 3/8in PT ports, and a 60 cc drain bowl. Working pressure 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. The unit weighs 360 g and its flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The W code specifies a 5 um filtering grade instead of the standard 40 um. This traps much finer particles, which is important for precision valves and instrument air, but the finer element will load with dirt faster and need more frequent replacement.
