Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20 is a genuine compressed-air filter. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles down to 40 µm, protecting downstream valves and tools. It has 3/4" ports and a 205 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20
The GAF600C20 is a heavy-duty air filter built for high-flow industrial lines. Its diversion structure spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into the 205 cc metal drain bowl, while the 40 um HDPE element traps fine grain. This is a filter only, with no regulator or gauge, and it does not control pressure.
This model uses a 3/4in port and weighs 1040 g, placing it at the top of the GAF size range. The metal bowl is standard on the GAF600 body, and the unit ships with both semi-auto and manual drains fitted, plus the mounting bracket. It protects downstream valves, cylinders and tools from water and dirt, and its flow curve is plotted to 12000 L/min.

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 GAFR600 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 GAFR600-20 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 GAF600C20 Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic stations on a production machine. The 205 cc bowl and 12000 L/min envelope handle the combined flow of several actuators.
Multi-station assembly line
Protect a bank of valves and cylinders on an automated assembly line. The large metal bowl captures water and scale from a long pipe run before it reaches sensitive components.
High-cycling press system
Install ahead of a high-cycling pneumatic press that demands clean, dry air. The 40 um element stops abrasive particles that would wear seals and spools in rapid-service valves.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20 the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF600C20 when your line needs a 3/4in port and the largest condensate capacity in the GAF family. The metal bowl is the only option on this body, and the semi-auto plus manual drains give you both automatic purging and a manual backup. The included bracket suits panel or frame mounting, and the 40 um element handles general-purpose air. If you need finer filtration, the W option swaps in a 5 um element. The PT thread standard matches common local fittings. For lines that also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR600-20 filter-regulator instead. The GAF600's 205 cc drain bowl holds about 1.9x the condensate of the GAF500's 108 cc bowl, so you drain it roughly half as often.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/4" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm (general) or 5 µm (fine)
- ✓ Bowl material: Metal (C) only
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J)
- ✓ Need pressure control too? Use GAFR600
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 205 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 1040 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 GAFR600-20 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20 FAQ
The GAF600C20 is a filter-only unit with a 3/4in port, 40 um filtering grade, and a 205 cc metal drain bowl. It weighs 1040 g. The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it must not freeze. The flow curve is plotted to 12000 L/min.
This model ships with both a semi-auto drain and a manual drain fitted. The semi-auto drain purges condensate automatically when the air supply is turned off, while the manual drain lets you empty the bowl on demand. This combination gives you automatic operation with a manual backup for maintenance.
