Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SW 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 GAFR400N15SW
The GAFR400N15SW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate filter and regulator 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 fine particle removal.
This 880 g unit features a nylon bowl and includes both semi-auto and manual drains for flexible condensate management. Its balanced regulator mechanism maintains a steady outlet pressure as supply varies, while the diversion structure spins air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 100 cc bowl.

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 GAFR400N15SW Is Used
Precision Valve Control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves requiring 5 um filtration to protect fine internal passages from particle contamination.
Machine Tool Circuits
Supply regulated air to a medium-sized machine tool's clamping and positioning circuits where stable pressure is critical.
Assembly Station Air
Provide filtered, regulated air to multiple pneumatic tools at an assembly station, with the 100 cc bowl handling typical condensate loads.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body for 1/2in port applications needing up to 7000 L/min flow (plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet). The nylon bowl offers a build alternative to standard PC, while the 5 um element suits precision equipment requiring finer filtration than the standard 40 um. This model includes the mounting bracket and a circular gauge with MPa/psi scale. The semi-auto plus manual drain provides both automatic condensate release and manual override capability. For lines requiring downstream lubrication, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. The 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 GAFR400N15SW FAQ
Working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with 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.
The 5 um element traps much finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it suitable for precision valves or instrument air. The trade-off is that the finer element will require more frequent servicing as it loads with contaminants.
