Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNWK 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 GAFR400C15SNWK
The GAFR400C15SNWK is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, saving rail space and reducing potential leak points compared to separate units. It handles a 1/2in port with a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element for finer filtration.
This version features a metal condensate bowl, a semi-auto plus manual drain, and a reverse-flow valve fitted as an ordering option. The unit weighs 880 g and its flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, indicating its capacity for medium-sized pneumatic systems.

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 GAFR400C15SNWK Is Used
Precision machining centers
Feed a 5 um filtered, regulated air supply to precision tool changers and measurement systems on CNC machines.
Assembly line automation
Supply stable pressure to pneumatic actuators and grippers on a medium-speed assembly line.
Test and calibration rigs
Provide clean, regulated air for pneumatic test fixtures where consistent pressure is critical.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body for 3/8in or 1/2in port lines; the 1/2in port here suits medium-flow applications. The metal bowl (C) is a build choice, while the semi-auto plus manual drain (blank) requires periodic attention. The 5 um element (W) traps finer particles for sensitive equipment but needs more frequent service than a 40 um unit. This model includes the mounting bracket, has no gauge (N), and uses PT threads with an MPa/psi scale. The reverse-flow valve (K) is fitted as specified. If your line needs 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 GAFR400C15SNWK FAQ
The GAFR400C15SNWK has a 1/2in port, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Its temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 880 g.
The K code indicates the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted as an ordering difference. The catalogue does not detail its function, so consult the datasheet for operational specifics. This model also has no gauge, so the 1/4in gauge connection is available if you need to add one.
