Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08AW 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 GAF300N08AW
The GAF300N08AW is a filter-only unit that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc nylon 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 sets pressure.
This 1/4in model weighs 360 g and fits the GAF300 size class. The nylon bowl is a build choice for your environment; confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings since no chemical data is printed. The automatic drain handles wet lines without manual attention.

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 GAF300N08AW Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a small assembly station. The 5 um element traps fine particles that could clog pilot orifices, while the automatic drain removes water without line shutdown.
Instrument air pre-filter
Protect sensitive instruments or gauges downstream of a compressor. The 5 um HDPE core filters fine grain, and the 60 cc bowl with auto drain keeps the line dry for longer runs.
Single machine tool line
Mount this 360 g filter on a small machining fixture or a single cylinder circuit. The 1/4in port suits low-flow tools, and the included bracket simplifies panel mounting.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08AW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300 body for 1/4in to 1/2in ports; the 08 code gives you 1/4in. The nylon bowl (N) is a material choice, the A drain is automatic for unattended operation, and the W element is 5 um for finer filtration. The bracket is included, and PT thread standard applies. If you also need pressure control, the matching GAFR300-08 adds a regulator. The GAF300's 60 cc bowl holds 2.4x the condensate of a GAF200's 25 cc, meaning fewer drain interventions.
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 GAF300N08AW FAQ
Filtering grade is 5 um. Working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. Drain bowl capacity is 60 cc, weight is 360 g, and the flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min. It has a nylon bowl, automatic drain, included bracket, and PT thread.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual intervention, ideal for wet or unattended lines. It differs from blank models that ship with both semi-auto and manual drains. This unit is filter-only, so it does not regulate pressure; for that you would need the GAFR300-08.
