Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C15W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C15W 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 GAF300C15W
The GAF300C15W is a filter-only unit that spins incoming air to throw water and solid particles into its 60 cc metal drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE core traps fine grain. It is not a regulator and carries no pressure gauge, so it cleans the air without attempting to control pressure.
This 1/2in model weighs 360 g and its flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min, placing it in the GAF300 size class. The metal bowl is a build choice for the environment, and the 5 um element suits precision valves or instrument air where finer filtration matters.

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 GAF300C15W Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machining center, where the 5 um element stops fine grain that could cause spool sticking or pilot valve wear.
Instrument air pre-filter
Protect sensitive instruments or flow meters on a test bench, using the 1/2in port to supply several devices while the 60 cc bowl handles condensate from a moderately wet line.
Assembly station supply
Clean the air feeding multiple assembly tools at a workstation, where the 360 g body mounts easily on a frame and the semi-auto drain suits a line that is checked daily.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300C15W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body when you need a 1/4in, 3/8in or 1/2in port with a 60 cc drain bowl, stepping up from the GAF200's 25 cc bowl if you want fewer drain checks. The metal bowl here is a material choice with the same common spec as PC or nylon, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. This unit ships with both semi-auto and manual drains, includes the mounting bracket, and uses a 5 um element for finer filtration at the cost of more frequent element service. Port threads are PT, so match your fittings accordingly. If the line also needs a set pressure, the matching GAFR300-15 adds a built-in regulator. The proof pressure of 1.5 MPa against the 0.9 MPa top of the working range gives about a 1.67x margin.
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 GAF300C15W FAQ
The GAF300C15W is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, a 60 cc metal drain bowl, and a weight of 360 g. 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 flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min, and it uses a 1/2in PT port.
The metal bowl is a build and environment choice, not a performance upgrade. The common specification is identical for PC, nylon and metal bowls, so you should confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. This model also includes both semi-auto and manual drains, the mounting bracket, and a 5 um element for finer filtration.
