Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015W 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 GAF30015W
The GAF30015W 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 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only: it has no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never sets or controls pressure.
This 1/2in-port model weighs 360 g and uses a clear PC bowl with both a semi-auto and a manual drain fitted. The 5 um element suits lines feeding precision valves or instruments, and the included mounting bracket lets you fix the 360 g body to a panel instead of supporting it from the tubing.

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 GAF30015W Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a bank of precision solenoid valves on a 1/2in manifold, where the 5 um element keeps fine grain from clogging valve orifices and the 60 cc bowl holds condensate between shifts.
Machine tool air supply
Protect a lathe or milling machine's pneumatic workholding and coolant valves from water and dirt carried in the shop air line, with the semi-auto drain letting you purge the bowl manually.
Assembly station feed
Supply clean air to a multi-station assembly bench with air cylinders and vacuum generators, where the 360 g body mounts on a panel and the 5 um element guards sensitive components.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30015W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body when your line needs a 1/2in port with a 60 cc condensate bowl; step down to a GAF200 (25 cc bowl, 3000 L/min curve) for lighter duty or up to a GAF400 (100 cc bowl, 8000 L/min curve) for more capacity. The PC bowl is the standard build, the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the 40 um default, and the included bracket suits panel mounting; the PT thread must match your fittings. If you also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-15 filter-regulator instead. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure is about a 1.67x margin over the 0.9 MPa top of the working range.
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 GAF30015W FAQ
The GAF30015W is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, a 1/2in PT port, and a 60 cc drain bowl. 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. The unit weighs 360 g and has a flow curve plotted to 6000 L/min.
The W code specifies a 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um. This finer element traps much smaller particles, making it suitable for precision valves or instrument air, but it will require more frequent element service than a 40 um element.
