Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ 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.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ
The GAFR300N08LJ is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, saving rail space and reducing potential leak points versus separate units. It handles 1/4in ports and delivers a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a 40 um filter element.
This version features a nylon bowl and includes both semi-auto and manual drains for flexible condensate removal. Weighing 500 g, it suits compact machine builds where a lighter unit is preferred, and the included circular gauge with MPa/psi scale allows direct pressure monitoring.

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.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Use the lower 0.15-0.4 MPa range for sensitive pneumatic controls or light actuation where a standard 0.9 MPa regulator would be excessive.
Compact machine builds
The 500 g weight and single-body design fit neatly into tight control cabinets or on small machine frames where space is at a premium.
Bench or test equipment
Ideal for workbenches or test rigs supplying a single fixture, providing filtered air at a stable low pressure for consistent results.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR300N08LJ when your application needs a lower regulated output, capped at 0.4 MPa, from a 1/4in port. The nylon bowl offers an alternative to standard PC for specific installation preferences, while the semi-auto and manual drains provide dual methods for removing condensate. This model ships without a mounting bracket (J), so plan for panel mounting or use an existing bracket. The 40 um element handles general workshop air, and the PT thread with MPa/psi gauge scale matches common regional fittings. For lines requiring downstream lubrication, the matching GAFC300-08 combination adds a lubricator. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 500 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
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.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08LJ FAQ
The GAFR300N08LJ is a filter & regulator with a 1/4in port, a lower 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 in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, has a 60 cc drain bowl, and weighs 500 g. It includes a 40 um element and both semi-auto and manual drains.
The 'L' designates a lower-pressure regulator type, limiting the outlet pressure to a maximum of 0.4 MPa (58 psi) instead of the standard 0.9 MPa. This is suitable for applications that require a precise, lower pressure and should not be used if the system may need more than 0.4 MPa.
