The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20ASJNW 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.
The GAFR500N20ASJNW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, handling both air preparation duties without needing separate units. This 3/4in version operates in the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range and comes with a 5 um element for finer filtration.
Its nylon bowl and automatic drain make it suitable for wet or unattended lines, while the 950 g weight indicates a unit that needs proper panel mounting. The diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 108 cc condensate bowl, keeping downstream equipment protected.

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 multi-station assembly machine header where several actuators draw air simultaneously. The 3/4in port and 8000 L/min plotted envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet support moderate multi-drop layouts.
Use the 5 um element ahead of precision pneumatic valves or sensors that need cleaner air than standard 40 um filtration provides. The automatic drain keeps the bowl from filling during long production runs.
Mount this 950 g unit on a machine frame or panel where its weight is properly supported. The no-bracket (J) configuration suits existing mounting holes, and the nylon bowl handles general industrial environments.
This GAFR500 body with a 3/4in port sits between the GAFR400 (3/8in-1/2in, 100 cc bowl) and the GAFR600 (3/4in-1in, 205 cc bowl) in the range. The nylon bowl offers an alternative to PC or metal, and the automatic drain (A) handles condensate without manual intervention. The J code means no mounting bracket is included, so plan for a panel mount or existing bracket. With no gauge fitted (N), the 1/4in gauge connection is available if you add one later; the PT thread means the scale reads MPa/psi. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, though it will need more frequent service. For lines needing oil downstream, the matching GAFC500-20 combination adds a lubricator. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan your inlet pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need the full output.
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.
This filter & regulator has a 3/4in port, working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in -5 to 70 C temperatures, has a 108 cc drain bowl, weighs 950 g, and uses a 5 um element.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied, leaving the 1/4in gauge connection available if you add one later. The J code omits the mounting bracket, so this unit is intended for panel mounting or use with existing brackets rather than being supported by its tubing.
