Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALWK 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 GAFR400C10ALWK
This AirTAC GAFR400C10ALWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, handling both filtration and pressure control in one compact unit. It operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and comes with a 5 um element for finer particle removal.
The metal bowl holds 100 cc of condensate, and the automatic drain clears it without manual attention. A circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the reverse-flow valve is attached. This unit weighs 880 g and is built for a 3/8in port, making it a substantial component for a machine line.

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 GAFR400C10ALWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves that need clean, regulated air at a stable lower pressure, with the 5 um element trapping fine particles.
Wet utility line
Use on a wet factory air line where the automatic drain clears condensate continuously, and the metal bowl resists the environment.
Low-pressure test rig
Supply a test rig that operates within 0.15-0.4 MPa, relying on the gauge to verify set pressure and the reverse-flow valve as specified.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400C10ALWK when your circuit needs a 3/8in port with a lower pressure ceiling of 0.4 MPa, and where finer 5 um filtration protects sensitive downstream valves. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, while the automatic drain handles wet lines without operator intervention. The included bracket simplifies mounting, and the fitted gauge shows the set pressure directly. If your application requires lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa regulated top.
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 GAFR400C10ALWK FAQ
The working pressure range is 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, and the unit weighs 880 g.
The 'L' designates the lower-pressure type, with a regulated range of 0.15-0.4 MPa instead of the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa. This unit is not suitable if your machine may need more than 0.4 MPa outlet pressure.
