Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ASNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ASNWK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ASNWK
The GAFR40015ASNWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, handling both air preparation steps without a separate filter unit upstream. This 1/2in model operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element to catch fine particles before they reach your equipment.
Its 100 cc condensate bowl collects water and solids spun out by the diversion structure, while the automatic drain clears it without manual attention. At 880 g, this unit needs proper panel or frame support rather than relying on the tubing to carry its weight.

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 GAFR40015ASNWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of pneumatic valves that need clean, regulated air at a steady pressure. The 5 um element protects fine internal passages, and the balanced regulator holds the setpoint as line pressure fluctuates.
Machine tool circuits
Supply a machining center's clamping fixtures and tool changers with 1/2in air. The 100 cc bowl handles condensate from a busy shift, and the automatic drain prevents water carryover into the tooling.
Assembly line stations
Run multiple workstations on a conveyor line from one filtered and regulated source. The 7000 L/min flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet supports several actuators, while the self-locking knob resists vibration drift.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ASNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body when you need 1/2in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl, stepping up from the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl if your line runs wetter or feeds more stations. The PC bowl suits general shop air, while the automatic drain handles unattended operation, and the 5 um element provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um for sensitive valves. The mounting bracket is included, but no gauge is fitted, so the 1/4in gauge connection is ready if you add one later. The reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference, and the PT thread matches the MPa/psi gauge scale. With a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated 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 GAFR40015ASNWK FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 1/2in port, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g. The 5 um element and automatic drain are fitted.
The 'N' in the code means no gauge is supplied, which suits installations where a panel-mounted gauge already exists or where the set pressure is monitored remotely. The GAFR400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so a standard AirTAC gauge can be added later if needed.
