Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJNWK 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 GAFR400C15ALJNWK
The GAFR400C15ALJNWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. This 1/2in port model operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 5 um filter element to trap fine particles.
Its metal bowl and automatic drain make it suitable for industrial lines where condensate must be expelled without manual attention. The unit weighs 880 g and its flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, giving a clear sizing envelope for machine builders.

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 GAFR400C15ALJNWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves that require clean, regulated air at a stable lower pressure. The 5 um element protects fine internal passages from particle wear.
Unattended machine station
Mount on a machine station where operators cannot manually drain condensate. The automatic drain expels water continuously while the lower pressure range protects sensitive tooling.
Instrument air supply
Supply a test rig or measurement instrument that needs filtered air at a consistent pressure below 0.4 MPa. The metal bowl handles demanding shop floor conditions.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 when you need a 1/2in port with a 100 cc metal bowl and automatic drain for unattended operation. The L-type pressure range tops out at 0.4 MPa, so verify your system never requires more than that; if it does, select the standard S type instead. The 5 um element suits precision valves or instrument air but will need more frequent service than a 40 um element. No bracket is included (J), so plan for panel mounting or an existing support structure. No gauge is fitted (N), but the 1/4in gauge connection allows adding one later. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached as an ordering difference. If you need lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 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 (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 GAFR400C15ALJNWK FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 1/2in port, 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 880 g. It uses a 5 um element and has an automatic drain.
The N code after the port means no gauge is supplied, though the 1/4in gauge connection is present for adding one. The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted, which suits installations using existing brackets or direct panel mounting. Both options reduce cost when these features are not needed.
