Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20AW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20AW 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 205 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20AW
The GAF600C20AW is a filter-only unit that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 205 cc metal drain bowl, while the 5 um HDPE core traps fine grain. It cleans the air for downstream equipment but never regulates pressure and carries no gauge.
This 3/4in model weighs 1040 g and sits at the top of the GAF size range, with its flow curve plotted to 12000 L/min. The automatic drain clears condensate without operator attention, and the metal bowl suits demanding shop environments where a polycarbonate bowl might be a concern.

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 GAF600C20AW Is Used
Machine Header Feed
Protect a multi-station machine header where a 3/4in line feeds several valves and cylinders, with the automatic drain handling continuous condensate from a wet compressor.
High-Flow Tool Rack
Supply a bank of heavy air tools on a central drop, using the 5 um element to keep fine grit out of tool chucks and throttles while the large bowl extends service intervals.
Multi-Station Assembly Line
Guard a long assembly line with multiple workstations, where the 205 cc bowl and 12000 L/min envelope support high simultaneous demand without frequent draining.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20AW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF600 body when your line needs a 3/4in port and the largest condensate capacity in the series. The metal bowl is the only option on this body, and the automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines without manual checks. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, at the cost of more frequent element service, and the PT thread matches common regional fittings. The included bracket supports the 1040 g unit firmly. If you also need to set pressure, step up to the GAFR600-20 filter-regulator instead. The 205 cc bowl holds about 1.9x the condensate of the GAF500's 108 cc bowl, so this size cuts drain maintenance roughly in half.
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 GAF600C20AW FAQ
This filter-only unit has a 5 um HDPE element, a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working range, a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and a -5 to 70 C temperature range. Its drain bowl holds 205 cc and the unit weighs 1040 g, with a flow curve plotted to 12000 L/min.
The A code means an automatic drain that expels condensate without manual intervention, ideal for wet lines or unattended operation. Unlike a manual drain, you do not need to open a valve periodically; the unit handles it on its own.
