The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08ALJNK 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 40 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 GAFR300C08ALJNK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is spun to separate liquid water and solid particles before a balanced regulator sets a steady outlet pressure. This lower-pressure model operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a 40 um element and a 1/4in port.
The metal bowl holds 60 cc of condensate and the unit weighs 500 g, placing it in the GAFR300 size class. An automatic drain clears collected water without manual attention, and the pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration.

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 GAFR300 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 GAFC300-08 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 pneumatic actuator or a small precision valve station that needs a stable, low regulated pressure below 0.4 MPa. The 40 um element protects sensitive components from particle contamination.
Use on a laboratory or workshop test bench where a compact filter-regulator with an automatic drain keeps a 1/4in line clean without requiring frequent manual draining.
Mount inside a small cabinet or on a panel where the 500 g weight and missing bracket let you secure it directly to existing hardware, saving rail space.
Choose the GAFR300 body for 1/4in or 3/8in ports; the 500 g mass and 60 cc drain bowl suit a compact machine zone. The metal bowl (C) is a build choice for the environment, and the automatic drain (A) suits wet or unattended lines. This model omits the bracket (J) and gauge (N), so plan for panel mounting and use the 1/8in gauge connection if you add one later. The lower-pressure type (L) tops out at 0.4 MPa, and the reverse-flow valve (K) is fitted as an ordering difference. If oil is needed downstream, the matching GAFC300-08 combination adds a lubricator. 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 GAFC300-08 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
This filter-regulator has a 1/4in port, a pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 60 cc drain bowl, and weighs 500 g. The element is 40 um and the drain is automatic.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to the GAFR300C08ALJNK. It is an ordering difference from models without this option; the catalogue does not detail its function in our data.
