Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08JW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08JW 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 GAF300C08JW
The GAF300C08JW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc metal 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 adjusting knob, so it cleans the air but never sets or holds a pressure.
This 1/4in port model weighs 360 g and belongs to the GAF300 size class, which is a step up from the smaller GAF200 body. The metal bowl is a build choice for the environment; AirTAC prints no temperature or chemical data for bowl materials, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings before fitting.

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 GAF300C08JW Is Used
Protect a precision valve
Feed a single 1/4in pilot valve or a small indexing table with air that has passed the 5 um element, keeping fine abrasive grain away from spool surfaces and extending valve life.
Guard a machine tool air line
Mount this 360 g filter on a lathe or milling machine's pneumatic control panel, where the metal bowl resists the occasional knock and the 60 cc bowl handles a shift's condensate.
Clean air for a pick-and-place unit
Use it ahead of a small pneumatic gripper or a compact cylinder on an assembly station, where the 5 um element stops the fine dust that can clog tiny exhaust ports.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C08JW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body when 1/4in or 3/8in ports suit your line and you want a 60 cc drain bowl, which holds 2.4x the condensate of the GAF200's 25 cc bowl. The metal bowl (C) is selected here, and the J code means no mounting bracket is included, so plan a panel mount or use an existing bracket. This model has the 5 um element (W) for finer filtration, the semi-auto plus manual drain, and PT port threads; if you need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-08 filter-regulator instead. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure is about 1.67x the 0.9 MPa top of the working range, a burst-test margin and not a license to run above the rated 0.15-0.9 MPa.
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 GAF300C08JW FAQ
It is a GAF300 air filter with a 1/4in port, a 5 um filtering grade, a 60 cc 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 HDPE element removes water and solid particles only; it does not regulate pressure or remove oil.
The J in the code GAF300C08JW means the mounting bracket is omitted. This suits installations where the filter is panel-mounted, secured to an existing machine frame, or supported by rigid tubing rather than the included bracket. The filter itself is identical to a bracketed version; only the accessory changes.
