Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LJNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LJNWK 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.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LJNWK
The GAFR500N20LJNWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single 3/4in body, so incoming air is spun to separate water and solids before the balanced regulator sets a steady outlet pressure. This nylon-bowl unit operates in the lower 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) band and uses a 5 um element for finer filtration.
Weighing 950 g with a 108 cc condensate bowl, this size class suits machine headers or multi-station lines where a heavier body needs proper panel mounting rather than tubing support. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration, keeping the outlet stable as supply pressure 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.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LJNWK Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic actuators on a production line, where the lower pressure range protects sensitive downstream components.
Instrument air pre-filter
Use the 5 um element ahead of precision valves or gauges that need cleaner air, with the semi-auto drain checked during routine maintenance.
Modular panel build
Mount this 950 g unit on a control panel frame using existing brackets, since the J code omits the standard bracket for custom installations.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LJNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR500 for a 3/4in line needing lower regulated pressure up to 0.4 MPa; the nylon bowl suits applications where a lighter build is preferred over metal. The semi-auto plus manual drain requires periodic attention, while the 5 um element traps finer particles for sensitive equipment at the cost of more frequent service. No bracket is included (J), so plan for panel mounting or an existing bracket, and no gauge is fitted - the 1/4in gauge connection allows adding one later. The reverse-flow valve (K) is present as an ordering difference, and PT threads with an MPa/psi scale match standard installations. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, this unit leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 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 GAFR500N20LJNWK FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 108 cc and the unit weighs 950 g with a 3/4in port.
The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, which is about 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa ceiling. This suits applications needing a limited pressure band, but if the machine may ever require more than 0.4 MPa, the standard type would be the correct choice.
