Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08JW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08JW 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 GAF300N08JW
The GAF300N08JW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 60 cc nylon bowl, then traps fine grain with a 5 um HDPE element. It is a filter only - there is no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never sets or controls pressure.
This 1/4in-port model weighs 360 g and is rated for 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working pressure with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, operating from -5 to 70 C. The nylon bowl and included semi-auto plus manual drains make it a straightforward choice for a compact machine station that needs clean air delivered to a single valve or small jig.

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 GAF300N08JW Is Used
Precision valve protection
Feed a single precision pneumatic valve on a small assembly fixture with 5 um filtered air, keeping fine abrasive grain away from the valve's internal seals and spool.
Compact machine station
Mount this 360 g filter on a small indexing table or benchtop machine where space is tight and the 1/4in port matches the existing tubing run.
Short-run tool supply
Protect a hand-held pneumatic tool on a short production run, using the manual drain to check and empty the 60 cc bowl between shifts.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF300N08JW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF300N08JW when your line needs 1/4in ports and a 5 um element for finer filtration, with the nylon bowl for build flexibility and the semi-auto plus manual drains for controlled condensate removal. The J code means no mounting bracket is included, so plan for a panel mount or an existing bracket, and the PT thread standard must match your fittings. If you also need a set pressure, step up to the matching GAFR300-08 filter-regulator instead, since this GAF does not regulate. With a 60 cc drain bowl versus 25 cc on the GAF200, this unit holds about 2.4x the condensate before you need to drain it.
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 GAF300N08JW FAQ
The GAF300N08JW is a 1/4in port air filter with a 5 um HDPE element, a 60 cc nylon bowl, and a semi-auto plus manual drain. It weighs 360 g and has a flow curve plotted to 6000 L/min. 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 J in GAF300N08JW means the mounting bracket is omitted. This suits installations where the filter is panel-mounted or secured with an existing bracket. The unit itself is a filter only, so it does not include a regulator, gauge, or any pressure-control components.
