Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020L
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020L 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020L
The GAFR50020L is a filter and regulator combined into one body, handling both air preparation tasks without a separate filter and regulator pair. This 3/4in unit operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and comes with a 40 um element, making it suitable for applications with modest pressure needs.
Its 108 cc condensate bowl collects water and solids separated by the internal diversion structure, while the balanced regulator mechanism maintains a steady outlet pressure. Weighing 950 g, this unit is built for a 3/4in line and includes a circular gauge with MPa/psi scale for direct pressure reading.

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 GAFR50020L Is Used
Low-pressure assembly stations
Feed a delicate assembly fixture that requires a gentle, steady 0.3 MPa air supply for light pressing or positioning tasks without over-pressurizing sensitive components.
Paint spray booth air prep
Condition air for a low-pressure spray application where consistent 0.2-0.35 MPa output is needed, while the filter removes moisture and particulates from the supply line.
Dedicated machine tool circuit
Supply a single 3/4in line to a machine tool's low-pressure clamping circuit, where the 108 cc bowl handles condensate from a moderately wet air source.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020L the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR50020L when your line needs 3/4in ports and a lower regulated pressure cap of 0.4 MPa. The 108 cc drain bowl is larger than the GAFR300's 60 cc, meaning less frequent draining on a busy line. This model ships with both semi-auto and manual drains, the standard 40 um element, and the mounting bracket included. The fitted circular gauge shows MPa/psi, matching the PT thread standard. If downstream lubrication is ever required, the matching GAFC500-20 combination adds a lubricator to this same body and port. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of this unit's regulated range.
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 GAFR50020L FAQ
The GAFR50020L is a filter & regulator with a 3/4in port. Its pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 108 cc and the unit weighs 950 g.
The 'L' code designates the lower-pressure type, which tops out at 0.4 MPa (58 psi) instead of the standard 0.9 MPa (130 psi). This is for applications that only need a modest, regulated pressure and benefit from finer adjustment within that lower band. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, the standard type would be the correct choice.
