Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SN 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 40 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 GAFR400C15SN
The GAFR400C15SN is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate filter and regulator units. This 1/2in port model handles a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 40 um element to remove water and solid particles.
Its metal bowl provides a 100 cc condensate capacity, and the unit weighs 880 g. The balanced regulator mechanism holds the outlet pressure steady as supply varies, while the diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid and solids effectively.

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.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFC400-15 F.R.L. combination instead.

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 GAFR400C15SN Is Used
Machine tool circuits
Feed a precision machining fixture with clean, regulated air at a steady 0.15-0.9 MPa. The 40 um element protects sensitive valves and cylinders from particulates.
Assembly line stations
Power pneumatic actuators on an assembly station with a reliable 1/2in supply. The 100 cc bowl handles condensate from moderate moisture loads before manual draining.
Test bench air supply
Provide filtered, regulated air to a test bench manifold. The metal bowl resists impacts in busy workshop areas, and the included bracket secures the 880 g unit firmly.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body for 1/2in port applications needing flow up to the 7000 L/min plotted curve at 0.7 MPa inlet. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, and the included mounting bracket simplifies installation. This model ships with both semi-auto and manual drains, and the standard pressure type covers most industrial needs. The PT thread and no gauge mean you can add a 1/4in gauge later if required. For lines needing lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 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 GAFR400C15SN FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure is 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 N code means no gauge is supplied, saving cost if you monitor pressure elsewhere. If you add one later, the GAFR400 gauge connection is 1/4in. The PT thread uses an MPa/psi scale.
