Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASNWK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASNWK
The GAFR500C20ASNWK is a filter and regulator combined in one body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. This 3/4in model handles 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element to trap fine particles.
Its metal bowl holds 108 cc of condensate, and the automatic drain clears it without manual attention. The unit weighs 950 g and includes a mounting bracket, while the reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference.

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.

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 GAFR500C20ASNWK Is Used
Machine headers
Feed a multi-station machine header with 3/4in piping, ensuring clean, regulated air at 0.15-0.9 MPa for consistent actuator performance.
Conveyor systems
Supply a long conveyor line where the 5 um element protects precision valves from fine dust, and the automatic drain reduces maintenance stops.
Assembly stations
Power multiple assembly tools from one point, with the metal bowl handling high condensate loads and the bracket securing the 950 g unit firmly.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 for 3/4in lines needing up to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, a step up from the GAFR400's 7000 L/min envelope. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, and the 5 um element filters finer than the standard 40 um. The automatic drain handles wet lines, while the included bracket simplifies mounting; no gauge is supplied, but the 1/4in connection allows adding one. For oil downstream, order the GAFC500-20 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 (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 GAFR500C20ASNWK FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The metal drain bowl holds 108 cc, and the unit weighs 950 g with a 3/4in port.
The N code means no gauge is supplied, so you cannot read the set pressure directly. The gauge connection is 1/4in, allowing you to add an AirTAC gauge later if needed.
