Airtac GAF Filter GAF50020AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF50020AW 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 3/4" ports and a 108 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF50020AW
The GAF50020AW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 108 cc drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only, with no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never sets or holds pressure.
This 3/4in port model weighs 680 g and carries a 5 um element for finer filtration, making it a substantial unit that needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than support from the tubing. Its automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention, and the working range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).

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 GAFR500 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 GAFR500-20 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 GAF50020AW Is Used
Machine Tool Protection
Feed a 3/4in line to a CNC machine's solenoid bank, where the 5 um element stops fine abrasive dust from scoring valve spools and ruining precision finishes.
Plant Air Header
Mount this filter at the takeoff to a multi-station assembly line, using the automatic drain to shed condensate overnight so morning startup is dry and trouble-free.
Instrument Air Pre-Clean
Protect a bank of pneumatic sensors and transducers with 5 um filtration, keeping fine particulates away from delicate orifices and extending their service life.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF50020AW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF50020AW when your line needs 3/4in porting and a 5 um element to protect precision valves or instruments, while the automatic drain suits unattended or wet lines. The PC bowl is a build choice, not a performance upgrade, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings, and the included bracket simplifies mounting. If the line also needs a set pressure, use the matching GAFR500-20 filter-regulator instead, because this GAF does not regulate. The 108 cc drain bowl holds about 4.3x the condensate of the GAF300's 60 cc bowl, so you will drain it far less often.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/4" 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 GAFR500
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 108 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 680 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 GAFR500-20 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF50020AW FAQ
The GAF50020AW is a filter-only unit with a 5 um HDPE element, a 3/4in PT port, a 108 cc PC drain bowl and a weight of 680 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 9000 L/min, and it has an automatic drain.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual intervention, ideal for wet or unattended lines. Unlike the semi-auto plus manual drain on blank models, you do not need to open a valve by hand, so the GAF50020AW keeps running with less maintenance attention.
