Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20A
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20A 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 GAF600C20A
The GAF600C20A is a heavy-duty air filter that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 205 cc metal drain bowl, while the 40 um HDPE element traps fine grain. It cleans the air only - there is no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator on this unit.
This 3/4in-port model weighs 1040 g and is built for high-flow lines, with its flow curve plotted to 12000 L/min. The automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention, making it a fit for continuous production where water buildup would otherwise interrupt the process.

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 GAF600C20A Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic stations on a production line, where the automatic drain keeps the bowl from filling during long shifts.
Multi-station assembly
Protect a bank of valves and cylinders on a multi-station assembly machine, filtering water and scale before they reach sensitive pilot valves.
High-flow process tools
Supply clean air to high-consumption process tools that cycle continuously, relying on the 40 um element to stop particle wear.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20A the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF600C20A when your line needs 3/4in porting and high-volume air cleaning. The metal bowl suits demanding shop environments, while the automatic drain removes the need for manual checks. The included mounting bracket supports the 1040 g body properly - do not hang it from the tubing. For pressure control, pair it with a GAR regulator or step up to the GAFR600-20 filter-regulator. The 205 cc drain bowl holds about 8.2x the condensate of a GAF200's 25 cc bowl, so this size class needs far fewer drain interventions.
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 GAF600C20A FAQ
The GAF600C20A is a filter-only unit with a 40 um HDPE element, working pressure range 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range -5 to 70 C, 205 cc metal drain bowl, and weight 1040 g. It has a 3/4in PT port and an automatic drain.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual operation. This suits unattended or wet lines where the bowl would otherwise fill quickly. The GAF600C20A has no manual drain - the automatic type handles the 205 cc bowl on its own.
