Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020AS
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020AS 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 3/4" 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 GAFR50020AS
The GAFR50020AS is a filter and pressure regulator combined into one body, handling 3/4in ports with a 40 um element. It delivers a steady 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) outlet while spinning incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 108 cc drain bowl. This single-unit design replaces a separate filter plus regulator, reducing potential leak points and saving rail space compared to a two-part setup.
The automatic drain on this model clears condensate without manual intervention, making it suitable for wet or unattended lines. Weighing 950 g, this unit belongs to the GAFR500 size class and requires proper panel or frame mounting rather than support from the tubing alone. The fitted circular gauge with MPa/psi scale lets operators verify set pressure at a glance.

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 GAFC500-20 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 GAFR50020AS Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a multi-station assembly machine header with clean, regulated air at 3/4in port size, supporting multiple actuators from one central point.
Conveyor line control
Supply a long conveyor system's pneumatic controls with steady pressure, while the automatic drain handles condensate from humid plant air.
Paint booth air prep
Prepare air for paint spray equipment where consistent pressure and removal of water droplets protect finish quality.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020AS the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 when you need 3/4in ports and a 108 cc drain bowl that requires less frequent emptying than the 60 cc bowl on a GAFR300. The PC bowl suits general-purpose use, while the automatic drain handles moisture-heavy applications without manual checks. Standard pressure type covers 0.15-0.9 MPa, and the included bracket simplifies mounting; a no-gauge version is available if you prefer to read pressure elsewhere. The 40 um element balances filtration with service life, and PT threads with MPa/psi gauge scale match common installations. If lubrication is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. Note that the 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan inlet pressure near the maximum for full output.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/4" 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 108 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 950 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 GAFC500-20 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020AS 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 108 cc and the unit weighs 950 g.
The automatic drain opens to expel accumulated condensate without manual operation, making it ideal for unattended or wet lines. It replaces the semi-auto plus manual drain setup found on models without the A code.
