Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20W
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20W 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 GAF600C20W
The GAF600C20W is a filter-only unit that spins incoming air to throw liquid water and solid particles into its 205 cc metal bowl, while the 5 um HDPE core traps fine grain. It protects downstream valves and tools from contamination, but it does not regulate pressure and carries no gauge.
This 3/4in model weighs 1040 g and suits a machine header or multi-station line. The metal bowl is a build choice for demanding environments, and the included bracket supports the heavy body properly. It operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and must not freeze.

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 GAF600C20W Is Used
Machine Header Feed
Protect a central pneumatic header feeding multiple stations. The 3/4in port and 12000 L/min envelope handle high simultaneous demand.
Precision Valve Protection
The 5 um element traps fine particles that could clog small pilot valves on automated assembly equipment, keeping cycles consistent.
Multi-Station Line
Mount at the supply point for a multi-station conveyor system. The large 205 cc bowl reduces maintenance stops on long runs.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF600C20W the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF600 body for high-flow lines needing a 3/4in or 1in port, and pair it with the 5 um element when you have precision valves downstream. The metal bowl is standard on this size, and the semi-auto plus manual drain lets you empty condensate on a schedule or automatically when pressure drops. The included bracket is essential for the 1040 g weight, and the PT thread standard must match your existing fittings. If you also need to set a pressure, step up to the GAFR600-20 filter-regulator instead. The 205 cc bowl holds roughly 8 times the condensate of a GAF200's 25 cc bowl, so you will drain this unit far less 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 GAF600C20W FAQ
This filter uses a 5 um HDPE element, works from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), has a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and operates from -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 205 cc, and the unit weighs 1040 g.
The GAF600C20W is a filter only, removing water and solids. The GAFR600-20 adds a built-in regulator to control outlet pressure. If you need both filtration and pressure control, choose the GAFR.
