The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR30015LJW 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 1/2" 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 GAFR30015LJW is a filter and regulator combined into one body, so it cleans incoming air and sets a steady outlet pressure without needing a separate filter plus regulator pair. This 1/2in model is the lower-pressure version, regulating from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and it ships with a 5 um element for trapping fine particles.
Its diversion structure spins the airflow to throw liquid water and solid debris into the 60 cc condensate bowl, while the pressed-in self-locking knob resists drift from vibration. Weighing 500 g, this unit suits a compact machine frame where a lighter build is preferred over a heavier two-part assembly.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. The fitted circular gauge reads in MPa / psi, set by the PT thread code. 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 GAFC300-15 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 bank of precision pneumatic valves that need a stable, low supply pressure. The 5 um element protects fine internal passages, and the lower 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents over-pressuring sensitive actuators.
Supply a laboratory test bench where instruments require clean, low-pressure air. The 60 cc bowl handles condensate from a moderately wet line, and the manual drain lets an operator purge it between test runs.
Mount this unit on a small assembly jig that uses a single 1/2in line. The 500 g weight is light enough for a panel bracket, and the self-locking knob keeps the set pressure steady despite machine vibration.
Choose the GAFR300 body when you need a 1/2in port with a 60 cc drain bowl and a 3500 L/min flow curve at 0.7 MPa inlet. The L code sets a lower 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) band, which is ideal for delicate circuits, but confirm the machine never needs more than 0.4 MPa. This model has no mounting bracket (J), so plan for a panel mount or an existing bracket, and the 5 um element (W) suits precision valves or instrument air, though it will need more frequent service than a 40 um element. The PT thread gives an MPa/psi gauge scale, and the semi-auto plus manual drain means you can purge the bowl manually or let it dump when pressure drops. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC300-15 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, the regulated band tops out at 0.4 MPa, leaving about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the setpoint for stable regulation.
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 GAFC300-15 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
The GAFR30015LJW is a filter & regulator with a 1/2in port, a 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) regulating range, a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max pressure, and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 60 cc drain bowl, and weighs 500 g. The 5 um element filters fine particles, and the unit has a semi-auto plus manual drain.
The L code sets the regulating range to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) instead of the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa. This is for applications that need a low, stable pressure and should never exceed 0.4 MPa. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is the wrong choice and you should select a standard S type instead.
