The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR20008ALJNWK is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 1/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.
The GAFR20008ALJNWK is a compact filter & regulator from AirTAC, combining air filtration and pressure regulation in a single body. It handles 1/4in ports and delivers a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 5 um element for finer particle removal. This unit weighs 290 g and has a 25 cc condensate bowl, making it a lightweight choice for space-constrained setups.
The diversion structure inside spins the incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles, dropping them into the drain bowl. The balanced, self-locking regulator holds the outlet pressure steady as supply varies, resisting drift from vibration. This model has an automatic drain, no mounting bracket, and no gauge, with a 1/8in gauge connection available if one is added later.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFR200 is 1/8" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFC200-08 F.R.L. combination instead.
Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Feed a single precision pneumatic valve or small actuator with clean, regulated air. The 5 um element protects fine internals, while the lower pressure range suits delicate operations.
Use on a bench test rig where space is tight and a compact 290 g unit with 1/4in ports fits neatly. The automatic drain keeps condensate managed during extended testing sessions.
Install inside a control cabinet for a small machine station. The no-bracket design allows direct panel mounting, and the lack of a gauge saves space where external readouts are used.
Choose the GAFR200 body for small jigs or single actuators needing 1/4in ports, where its 290 g mass suits panel mounting rather than tubing support. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, ideal for precision valves, though it will require more frequent servicing. The automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines, while the lower-pressure type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your machine never needs more. The J code omits the bracket for existing mounts, and the N code means no gauge is supplied, so plan to add one via the 1/8in connection if you need to read set pressure. The K code includes a reverse-flow valve as an ordering difference. If lubrication is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC200-08 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC200-08 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
The GAFR20008ALJNWK operates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in temperatures from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The drain bowl holds 25 cc and the unit weighs 290 g.
The N code after the port indicates no gauge is supplied with this unit. If you need to monitor outlet pressure, you can add one using the 1/8in gauge connection on the GAFR200 body. The set pressure cannot be read without adding a gauge.
