Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNW 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 GAFR400C15SNW
The GAFR400C15SNW is a filter and regulator combined in a single body, so it cleans incoming air and stabilizes outlet pressure without needing two separate components. This unit has a 1/2in port, a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) working range, and a 5 um element that traps finer particles for sensitive equipment.
The metal bowl holds 100 cc of condensate, and the 880 g body is built for a fixed installation rather than line support. It ships with both semi-auto and manual drains, and the mounting bracket is included. There is no gauge fitted; the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for one if you add it later.

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 GAFR400C15SNW Is Used
Machine tool circuits
Feed a 1/2in line to a machining center's pneumatic clamps and tool changers, where the 5 um element protects precision valves from fine debris.
Assembly station headers
Supply a multi-operator assembly bench with clean, regulated air at a steady 0.15-0.9 MPa, with the 100 cc bowl reducing drain frequency during shifts.
Test rig instrumentation
Use the 5 um filtration ahead of pressure transducers or flow meters on a test bench, where particle contamination could skew readings.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body when you need 1/2in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl, stepping up from the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl when condensate volume is higher. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, while the 5 um element is for finer filtration than the standard 40 um. Both semi-auto and manual drains are fitted, and the bracket is included for mounting. The standard pressure type covers 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the PT thread matches the MPa/psi gauge scale. If you need lubrication downstream, order the GAFC400-15 combination instead. Note that 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 GAFR400C15SNW FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, and the unit weighs 880 g. It uses a 5 um element and has a 1/4in gauge connection.
The metal bowl (C) is a build choice for the condensate chamber, and the no-gauge option (N) means you supply your own pressure readout. The 1/4in gauge connection is available for adding one. The 5 um element provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade.
