Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C10AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C10AW 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 GAF300C10AW
The GAF300C10AW is a filter-only unit 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 has no regulator, no gauge, and no lubricator - it cleans the air but never controls pressure.
This 3/8in model weighs 360 g and is rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working pressure with a proof of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The metal bowl suits demanding environments, and the automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention, making it a fit-and-forget choice for a dedicated filter station.

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 GAF300C10AW Is Used
CNC spindle air curtain
Feed a 3/8in line protecting a CNC spindle's air curtain from water droplets and 5 um+ particles that could distort the protective flow or score precision surfaces.
Instrument air for a test bench
Supply a metrology or leak-test bench where the 5 um element stops fine grain from clogging tiny orifices in pressure sensors and flow meters.
Dedicated filter for a pick-and-place unit
Protect a single gantry or pick-and-place module's valves and cylinders from condensate, with the automatic drain handling overnight moisture buildup without operator rounds.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C10AW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body for 1/4in to 1/2in lines where a 60 cc bowl and 6000 L/min curve envelope balance capacity with compactness. The metal bowl (C) is a build choice for tougher surroundings - confirm compatibility for aggressive media. The automatic drain (A) handles wet or unattended lines, while the included bracket simplifies panel mounting. The 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision valves, at the cost of more frequent service. PT threads match common local fittings. If you need a set pressure, step up to the GAFR300-10 filter-regulator instead. The GAF300's 6000 L/min flow envelope is 2x the GAF200's 3000 L/min, so you can double your line capacity by moving up one body size.
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 GAF300C10AW FAQ
It is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, a 60 cc metal drain bowl, and a 360 g weight. 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 port is 3/8in PT thread, and the flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual intervention, ideal for wet or unattended lines. Unlike the blank version with semi-auto plus manual drains, this model needs no operator to open a valve - it clears the 60 cc bowl on its own.
