Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015AW 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 1/2" ports and a 60 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015AW
The GAF30015AW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that uses a diversion structure to spin incoming air, throwing liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc drain bowl while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. This unit cleans the air only; it has no regulator, no pressure gauge, and no lubricator.
This model has a 1/2in port, a PC bowl, and an automatic drain, making it a solid choice for protecting downstream valves and tools. Weighing 360 g, it is a mid-size unit that needs proper panel or frame mounting rather than support from the tubing, and its flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min for sizing against neighbours.

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 GAFR300-15 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 GAF30015AW Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a small assembly machine, where the 5 um element stops fine abrasive grain from scoring spool surfaces and causing sticking.
Instrument air pre-filter
Protect sensitive instrumentation or gauging equipment on a test bench, where the automatic drain removes condensate without manual attention and the 60 cc bowl handles a shift of moisture.
Single-station automation
Guard a single pick-and-place station or a compact press, where the 1/2in port matches common machine plumbing and the 360 g body mounts neatly on a frame.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015AW the Right Filter?
Choose the body and port first: the GAF300 with a 1/2in port sits between the smaller GAF200 (1/4in max, 25 cc bowl) and the larger GAF400 (1/2in, 100 cc bowl). The PC bowl is the standard build choice, while the automatic drain (A) suits unattended or wet lines, and the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision applications. The included bracket simplifies mounting, and the PT thread standard must match your existing fittings; if you also need a set pressure, upgrade to the matching GAFR300-15 filter-regulator. The proof pressure of 1.5 MPa against the 0.9 MPa working maximum gives about a 1.67x margin, a burst-test proof, not a working limit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/2" 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 GAFR300-15 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015AW FAQ
The GAF30015AW is an air filter with a 5 um filtering grade, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and a temperature range of -5 to 70 C. It has a 60 cc drain bowl, weighs 360 g, and its flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The automatic drain (A) expels accumulated condensate from the 60 cc bowl without manual intervention, making it ideal for unattended operation or wet compressed-air lines. This model ships with the automatic drain fitted, so you do not need to empty the bowl by hand.
