AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A)
The AirTAC AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A) is a genuine G-series air filter. It separates condensed water and filters particulate from the compressed-air line through a 40 µm element, with PT1/2" ports and a automatic drain. A filter does not set downstream pressure — pair it with a GR regulator, or use a GFR filter regulator, when pressure control is needed.

About the AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A)
The GF40015A is an AirTAC G-series air filter: its job is filtration only - water and particulate removal, with no regulation and no lubrication. This 400-size configuration has a PT 1/2 in port, the standard 40 um element, and an automatic drain (the A suffix) that ejects collected condensate from the bowl on its own, so the unit keeps working in attended or unattended positions without someone cracking a manual drain. The bowl is polycarbonate at this size, and the bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GF family, offered in sizes 200 through 600 with drain, element grade and thread options. We confirm datasheet and flow-curve figures for your application on request, since rated flow is published as curves rather than a single number.

|---|---|
| Series | GF400 air filter |
| Port size | PT1/2" (PT thread) |
| Filtering grade | 40 µm |
| Drain type | Automatic drain |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The inlet-pressure band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains run 0.15 - 1.0 MPa, a manual drain runs 0 - 0.9 MPa. Air must not freeze in the unit. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.
Model Code: AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A)
| GF400 | G-series air filter, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 15 | Port size PT1/2". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain. Options are differential (blank), automatic (A) or manual (M). |
| (blank) | Mounting bracket included. A bracket ships by default; J orders it without. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
Field order is size, port, drain, bracket, grade, thread — a blank position takes the default. Example: GF300-10AJW is a 300 body, PT3/8", automatic drain, no bracket, 5 µm element, PT thread.
Size Class

- GF300PT1/4" - PT1/2"
- GF400PT3/8" - PT1/2"
- GF600PT3/4" - PT1"
A larger body carries a larger port and passes more air at the same pressure drop. AirTAC publishes flow only as curves, so size the body from your peak demand with headroom rather than from a single rated figure. The GF600 uses an aluminium-alloy bowl; the 200, 300 and 400 bodies use PC.

Where the AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A) Is Used
Trailer air-brake prep station
Filters the shop-air supply at a commercial-vehicle service bay, with the automatic drain coping with condensate between service visits.
Robotics cell air feed
Conditions the 1/2 in air feeding an industrial robot's pneumatic gripper circuit, where an unattended automatic drain keeps the bowl from flooding.
Food-plant dry-air branch
Installed on a 1/2 in branch line in a food-processing plant to remove water and debris from compressed air serving washdown-adjacent actuators.
Is the AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A) the Right Filter?
You are at the 400 size with a PT 1/2 in port and automatic drain - a good fit where a 1/2 in line must be filtered and the drain cannot rely on operator rounds. If your condensate load is light and drains are checked routinely, the differential-pressure or manual-drain versions of the same size exist. Filtration grade is the standard 40 um here; specify the W version for the 5 um fine element. Thread is PT as standard with G (BSPP) and NPT as catalogue options, and the mounting bracket is included.
Flow data for this family is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm the sizing and send the datasheet before you order.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (PT1/2" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain: differential, automatic or manual
- ✓ Manual drain caps inlet at 0.9 MPa
- ✓ Thread PT, G (BSPP) or NPT
- ✓ Bracket needed, or order with J
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mount vertically, bowl down, and follow the airflow arrow.
- check Put the filter first in the air-preparation line.
- check Keep inlet pressure within 0.15 - 1.0 MPa (22 - 145 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Replace the 40 µm element when pressure loss rises.
The PC bowl must not be cleaned with solvents or exposed to synthetic oils that attack polycarbonate — wipe it with a dry cloth. A filter removes water and particulate only; it does not regulate pressure or add lubrication.
AirTAC GF400-15 Filter (GF40015A) FAQ
Yes - on request. AirTAC publishes flow for the GF400 series as performance curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not state one number here. Share your flow and pressure conditions and we will confirm the datasheet figures for you.
The A selects the automatic drain: the bowl discharges accumulated condensate by itself instead of relying on the differential-pressure action of the default drain or on manual draining. Everything else about the 400 size, the PT 1/2 in port and the 40 um element stays the same.
