Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20ASJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20ASJ 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 GAFR500N20ASJ
The GAFR500N20ASJ is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is spun to separate liquid water and solid particles before a balanced regulator locks the outlet at your set pressure. This 3/4in unit covers 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 40 um element, and its nylon bowl holds 108 cc of condensate.
Because filtering and regulation share one housing, this replaces a separate GAF filter plus a GAR regulator, cutting the number of sealed joints and the rail space needed. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration, keeping the outlet stable as supply pressure varies.

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 GAFR500N20ASJ Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a multi-station assembly machine header where a single 3/4in line serves several cylinders, relying on the automatic drain to shed condensate without daily attention.
Paint booth air prep
Condition air for a spray booth's pneumatic controls, where the 40 um element traps particulates and the regulator holds a steady pressure for consistent atomization.
Conveyor line regulation
Stabilize air for a long conveyor's tensioning devices, using the 108 cc bowl to reduce drain frequency and the self-locking knob to maintain settings despite line vibration.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20ASJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 for a 3/4in port with a flow envelope plotted to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is the step up from the GAFR400's 7000 L/min envelope. The nylon bowl suits applications where a lighter, non-metallic reservoir is preferred, while the automatic drain (A) handles unattended operation on wet lines. This model ships without a mounting bracket (J), so plan for a panel mount or an existing bracket, and the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi via its PT thread. For finer filtration, select the W option for a 5 um element, and if lubrication is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan a supply near 1.0 MPa for a 0.9 MPa setpoint.
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 GAFR500N20ASJ FAQ
The GAFR500N20ASJ is a filter & regulator with a 3/4in port, working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 108 cc drain bowl, and weighs 950 g.
The J code means the mounting bracket is NOT included. This GAFR500N20ASJ is intended for panel mounting or for use with an existing bracket, so you must provide your own mounting solution rather than relying on the standard bracket.
