Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LW 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 GAFR400C10LW
The GAFR400C10LW is a filter and regulator combined in a single body, so incoming air is cleaned and then set to a steady outlet pressure without needing two separate components. This model uses a 3/8in port, a 100 cc metal condensate bowl, and a 5 um filter element to trap fine particles.
Its lower-pressure regulator covers 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it suitable for gentle or sensitive applications. The metal bowl and included mounting bracket suit fixed installations, while the circular gauge with MPa/psi scale shows the set pressure directly.

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 GAFR400C10LW Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Use the lower 0.15-0.4 MPa range to set a stable, low pressure for a delicate pneumatic clamp or a light pressing operation where higher force could damage parts.
Compact machine station
Mount this 880 g unit on a small assembly machine frame to filter supply air and regulate a single actuator or a small valve manifold, saving rail space versus separate filter and regulator.
Instrument air prep
The 5 um element suits a lab or test rig that needs cleaner air for a precision regulator or a sensitive pneumatic sensor, with the metal bowl protecting against rough handling.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body when you need a 3/8in port and a 100 cc drain bowl, stepping up from the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl for longer intervals between draining. The metal bowl is a build choice for the environment, while the 5 um element filters finer solids than the standard 40 um grade. This unit ships with the mounting bracket, a semi-auto plus manual drain, and a fitted gauge. If the line needs oil 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 GAFR400C10LW FAQ
It is a filter and regulator with a 3/8in port, a 100 cc metal drain bowl, and a weight of 880 g. The pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, and the element grade is 5 um.
The L type limits the regulated outlet to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) instead of the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa range. This is for applications that need a low, stable pressure and cannot tolerate a higher setting. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is the wrong choice.
