The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08LNK 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 GAFR300C08LNK is a filter and pressure regulator combined in a single body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. It delivers air filtered to 40 um and regulated to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 1/4in port and a 60 cc metal condensate bowl.
Its balanced regulator mechanism holds the set outlet pressure steady as supply pressure varies, while the pressed-in self-locking knob resists drift from vibration. The diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the bowl, protecting downstream equipment.

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.

Use the lower-pressure range for applications needing a stable 0.15-0.4 MPa output, such as a sensitive pneumatic control circuit or a precision air bearing.
The single-body design saves rail space and reduces potential leak points compared to separate filter and regulator units, ideal for a compact machine frame.
The self-locking knob maintains the set pressure even on equipment with noticeable vibration, such as a small stamping press or a vibratory feeder.
Choose the GAFR300 body for 1/4in or 3/8in ports, with a 60 cc drain bowl and a flow curve plotted to 3500 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The metal bowl (C) is a build choice; the common 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating apply to all bowl materials, so confirm compatibility for aggressive environments. This model has the semi-auto plus manual drain, the lower-pressure type (L), the mounting bracket included, no gauge (the 1/8in gauge connection is ready for an add-on), and the reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC300-08 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated 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.
It is a filter & regulator with a 1/4in port, 40 um element, and a lower-pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 60 cc and the unit weighs 500 g.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. It is an ordering difference from the standard model; the catalogue does not detail its function in the data we have, so confirm the operational details from the full AirTAC datasheet if needed.
