Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08AW 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 GAF300C08AW
The GAF300C08AW is a filter-only unit that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc metal bowl, while the 5 um HDPE core traps fine grain. It cleans the air stream; it does not regulate pressure and carries no gauge.
This model uses a 1/4in port, weighs 360 g, and ships with the mounting bracket. The automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention, making it a fit for lines where regular draining is inconvenient.

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 GAFR300-08 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 GAF300C08AW Is Used
Protect a precision valve
The 5 um element filters fine particles before they reach a sensitive pneumatic valve on a small assembly station, reducing the risk of sticking or wear.
Feed a single jig cylinder
A 1/4in port and 60 cc bowl suit a dedicated jig or fixture cylinder, keeping condensate and dirt out of the actuator while the automatic drain handles moisture.
Guard a portable air tool
Mount this filter ahead of a pneumatic tool on a workbench; the metal bowl resists impacts in a busy shop, and the 5 um element keeps the tool's internal parts clean.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08AW the Right Filter?
Choose the body and port to match your line size; the GAF300 sits between the lighter GAF200 (25 cc bowl) and the larger GAF400 (100 cc bowl). The metal bowl is a build choice for environments where you prefer rugged construction, but confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The automatic drain (A) suits unattended or wet lines, while the included bracket simplifies mounting; the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision valves or instrument air. The PT thread is the port standard, so match your fittings. If the line also needs a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-08 filter-regulator instead. The GAF300's 6000 L/min flow envelope is 2x the GAF200's 3000 L/min, so you can size up for higher-flow needs.
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 GAF300C08AW FAQ
It is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, a 60 cc metal drain bowl, and a weight of 360 g. The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The A code means an automatic drain. It expels accumulated condensate from the 60 cc bowl without manual intervention, which is useful for unattended lines or wet air systems. This model also includes the mounting bracket and uses a PT port thread.
