Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010ALWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010ALWK 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 3/8" 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.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010ALWK
The GAFR40010ALWK is a filter and regulator combined into one body, so it cleans incoming air and then holds a steady outlet pressure without needing a separate filter plus regulator pair. This 3/8in unit has a 5 um element that traps fine particles, and its automatic drain clears the 100 cc condensate bowl without manual attention.
Its lower-pressure regulator is set for 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the mounting bracket is included, making it ready for panel or frame installation.

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 GAFR40010ALWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of pneumatic valves that require clean, regulated air at a stable lower pressure. The 5 um element protects sensitive internals from fine wear particles.
Unattended machine line
Mount on a machine header where the automatic drain clears condensate without daily checks. The 100 cc bowl and 880 g body suit a fixed frame installation.
Instrument air supply
Supply a test rig or lab instrument needing filtered air at a precise lower pressure. The balanced regulator holds the setpoint as supply varies.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010ALWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body when you need 3/8in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl, which holds about 1.7 times the condensate of the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl. The 5 um element suits precision valves or instrument air, while the automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines. The L-type range tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your system never needs more than that. The included bracket simplifies mounting, and the PT thread gives an MPa/psi gauge scale. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. Note that 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" 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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 880 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 GAFC400-10 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010ALWK FAQ
Working pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 880 g. It has a 3/8in port and a 5 um filter element.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to the unit. This is an ordering difference from models without the K code. The function of the valve is detailed in the catalogue page not included in our data, so consult the full AirTAC documentation for its operation.
