Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010LWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010LWK 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 GAFR40010LWK
The GAFR40010LWK 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 3/8in unit operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 5 um element to trap fine particles.
Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and solid debris into the 100 cc condensate bowl, while the pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration. The circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the mounting bracket is included for secure panel 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 GAFR40010LWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a small assembly station where the 5 um element protects fine internal passages and the lower pressure range prevents over-pressurization.
Instrument air supply
Supply clean, regulated air to pressure gauges or sensors in a test rig, where the 100 cc bowl handles condensate from a moderately wet compressor line.
Single machine station
Protect a single automated work cell with a compact 3/8in filter-regulator that removes water and solids before the air reaches cylinders and actuators.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010LWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body when you need 3/8in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl, which holds about 1.7x the condensate of the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl for less frequent draining. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, while the 5 um element captures finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision valves or instrument air. This model has the semi-auto plus manual drain, the lower pressure type capped at 0.4 MPa, the bracket included, the gauge fitted with PT thread (MPa/psi scale), and the reverse-flow valve attached. If your line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead of this unit. 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 GAFR40010LWK FAQ
The GAFR40010LWK operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 3/8in port, a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g.
The K code indicates the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted as an ordering difference on this GAFR40010LWK. The catalogue defers its function to a separate page, so we recommend confirming the operational details from the official AirTAC datasheet.
