Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S
The AirTAC Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S is a genuine compressed-air pressure regulator. It sets and holds a steady downstream pressure across the 0.05 - 0.9 MPa range, with 1/4" ports and a built-in circular pressure gauge. It regulates pressure only — it does not filter the air or remove water.

About the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S
The GAR20008S is an air pressure regulator that takes a variable supply and holds a steady downstream pressure you set with its knob. It does not filter or clean the air, and it has no drain bowl or filter element. This unit uses a balanced valve design, so its setpoint stays stable as the incoming supply pressure fluctuates.
This model has a 1/4in port and weighs 170 g, placing it in the compact GAR200 size class. It regulates from 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) as a standard type, and the circular gauge with clip and magnifier is fitted for easy reading. The pressed-in self-locking knob prevents the set pressure from drifting due to vibration or accidental contact.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAR catalogue (pages 228-229). This is a regulator only — it sets and holds a downstream pressure but does not filter the air or separate water. To clean the air as well, use the matching GAFR200 filter-regulator or add a GAF filter upstream. Never run above the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.

A GAR regulates pressure but does not filter — there is no bowl, element or drain code. Need to clean the air too? The matching GAFR200-08 is the same regulator with a built-in filter.

All bodies share the same 0.05-0.9 MPa (S) regulated range, 1.0 MPa max and 1.5 MPa proof; the body number sets the port size and the flow the regulator can pass. Bigger ports feed higher air demand. The catalogue plots a flow curve at 0.7 MPa inlet but prints no numeric envelope, so size by port and weight and confirm the curve for a real duty point.

Where the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S Is Used
Small Clamp Actuation
Set a stable 0.3 MPa for a pneumatic clamp on a benchtop assembly fixture. The regulator holds the force steady even when the shop compressor cycles.
Single Tool Pressure
Feed a spray gun or air blow gun at a consistent 0.4 MPa. The self-locking knob keeps the setting fixed during a full shift of use.
Test Bench Supply
Provide a regulated 0.6 MPa to a leak tester or pressure gauge calibration rig. The balanced design prevents supply swings from affecting readings.
Is the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S the Right Regulator?
Choose the GAR20008S when your line needs a 1/4in port and a standard 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) regulated range. The mounting bracket is included, and the circular gauge reads in MPa/psi with PT threads. If you need a lower pressure band, the L type regulates only 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi) but with finer resolution in that low range. For clean air, pair this with a GAF filter upstream or use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. The S type's adjustable band is about 2.4x the L type's (0.85 MPa vs 0.35 MPa).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your air demand (1/4" here)
- ✓ Type S (0.05-0.9) or L (0.05-0.4 MPa)
- ✓ Gauge fitted, or no gauge (N)
- ✓ Thread PT / G / NPT (sets gauge scale)
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J)
- ✓ Need filtration too? Use GAFR200
Installation & Setting Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, knob accessible.
- check Put a filter (GAF or a GAFR) UPSTREAM — a regulator does not clean the air.
- check Set pressure by turning the knob up to the target, then press it in to lock.
- check Keep supply at or below the 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max working pressure.
- check Never exceed the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
- check Support the 170 g unit on its panel or bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a regulator only — it sets and holds pressure but does not filter or lubricate. Add a GAF filter, a GAL lubricator, or step up to the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008S FAQ
The GAR20008S regulates air from 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi). Maximum supply pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature range is -20 to 70 C. The unit weighs 170 g and has a 1/4in port.
No. The GAR20008S is a regulator only and does not filter, clean, or remove water or particles from the air. It has no filter element or drain bowl. For clean air, install a separate GAF filter upstream or use a GAFR filter-regulator instead.
