Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALNW 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 1/2" 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 GAFR40015ALNW
The GAFR40015ALNW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is cleaned and then set to a steady outlet pressure without needing separate units. This model uses a 1/2in port, a lower-pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and a 5 um element that traps finer particles for sensitive equipment.
Its 100 cc condensate bowl and automatic drain mean it can handle wet lines without manual attention, while the included mounting bracket supports its 880 g mass. The balanced regulator holds the set pressure as supply varies, and the self-locking knob resists 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 GAFR400 is 1/4" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

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 GAFR40015ALNW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves that need clean, regulated air at a consistent lower pressure, with the 5 um element protecting internal orifices.
Wet utility lines
Mount on a machine header fed by a wet plant line; the automatic drain clears condensate without operator rounds, and the 100 cc bowl handles the load.
Test rigs and benches
Supply a test fixture that requires a stable 0.15-0.4 MPa output, with the included bracket securing the 880 g unit to a panel or frame.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body when you need 1/2in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl, which holds about 1.7x the condensate of a GAFR300's 60 cc bowl. The L-type pressure range tops out at 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), so confirm your system never needs more than that; the 5 um element suits precision valves but will need more frequent service than a 40 um unit. The automatic drain handles unattended operation, the bracket is included, and no gauge is fitted, so the 1/4in gauge connection is ready if you add one later. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/2" 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 GAFC400-15 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALNW FAQ
Pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the unit weighs 880 g, and the gauge connection is 1/4in.
The N code after the port means no gauge is supplied, so you cannot read the set pressure without adding one. The gauge connection on the GAFR400 body is 1/4in, ready for a standard AirTAC gauge if you need to monitor output.
