The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020LJNW 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 5 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.
The GAFR50020LJNW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, saving rail space and reducing potential leak points compared to separate units. It handles a 3/4in port with a 108 cc condensate bowl, weighing 950 g, and uses a 5 um element for fine filtration.
This lower-pressure model operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi). The diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the bowl, while the balanced regulator maintains a steady outlet pressure as supply varies.

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 GAFR500 is 1/4" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

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.

Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machining center where consistent low pressure is critical and fine 5 um filtration protects tight clearances.
Supply a multi-station assembly line with regulated air at 0.15-0.4 MPa, using the semi-auto drain for scheduled maintenance in a clean factory environment.
Provide stable low-pressure air to test fixtures or lab equipment that require a clean, regulated supply without the need for a bracket in a fixed panel setup.
Choose this GAFR500 for a 3/4in line where a compact, single-body filter-regulator is needed; the 950 g weight and 108 cc bowl indicate a unit that requires proper mounting, not support from tubing. The PC bowl suits general-purpose use, while the 5 um element traps finer particles for sensitive equipment, and the semi-auto plus manual drain handles routine maintenance. This model omits the bracket (J) and gauge (N), so plan for panel mounting and add a gauge via the 1/4in connection if needed. The lower-pressure L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if your machine may need more, select a standard S version instead. For lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination rather than expecting this unit to add oil. 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
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.
The GAFR50020LJNW is a filter & regulator with a 3/4in port, working pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, has a 108 cc drain bowl, and weighs 950 g. The unit comes with a 5 um element and semi-auto plus manual drain.
The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted for installations using existing brackets or panel mounts, and the N code means no gauge is supplied. The gauge connection is 1/4in if you need to add one later. This allows for a more compact or customized installation where these accessories are not required.
