The AirTAC AirTAC GFR200-08 Filter Regulator (GFR20008F3W) is a genuine G-series filter regulator: water separation, 5 µm particulate filtration and balanced-type pressure regulation combined in a single body. It has PT1/4" ports, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It does not lubricate — add a GL lubricator, or order the GFC two-unit set, if downstream equipment needs oil.
GFR20008F3W is an AirTAC G-series filter regulator with the fine-filtration option fitted. The W suffix replaces the standard 40 um element with a 5 um element, so the air reaching downstream devices is filtered to a finer grade while still being regulated in the same body. This size 200 unit takes a PT1/4 (PT thread, 1/4 in.) port, uses a polycarbonate bowl with differential-pressure drain, includes an embedded square gauge reading in bar and a mounting bracket, and regulates across 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a -5 to 70 C (non-freezing) temperature range.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. GFR units span sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 in. to 1 in., and the catalogue lets you choose drain type, element grade, gauge type and scale, and G (BSPP) or NPT thread instead of the standard PT. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm sizing and the datasheet on request before you order.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). 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.

| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |

Field order is size, port, drain, type, bracket, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — a blank position takes the default. Example: GFR300-08 is a 300 body, PT1/4", differential drain, standard type, bracket included, gauge fitted, 40 µm, PT thread, no reflux valve.
A larger body carries a larger port and holds set pressure better as flow rises. AirTAC publishes flow only as curves, so size the body from your peak demand with headroom. The GFR600 uses an aluminium-alloy bowl; the 200, 300 and 400 bodies use PC.

Conditions the air feeding spray guns in a finishing booth: the 5 um element helps keep fine contaminants out of the paint path while the regulator sets atomizing pressure, with the bar gauge as the painter's reference.
Supplies the small pneumatic cylinders and grippers on benchtop lab automation, where a finer 5 um element and a stable regulated setting protect the compact valves inside the instrument.
Feeds pick-and-place nozzles and air knives on an SMT or electronics assembly bench, giving operators a bar-gauge pressure setpoint and finer filtration for the sensitive eject and vacuum circuitry.
Keep the same body and choose 40 um for general actuator supply or the W suffix, as on this model, for a 5 um element when finer protection is needed. Step the size digits (200/300/400/600) and port code (08 is 1/4 in.) to match your pipe and duty; larger sizes move more air at the same pressure. Drain type sets the adjust window: differential-pressure drain (this model) is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), manual drain opens it to 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), automatic drain suits unattended operation.
The embedded square gauge here reads in bar; round gauges with MPa or psi scales, G (BSPP) or NPT threads, and a bracketless (J) version are available to order. Because flow is published as curves and not a single rating, share your flow and pressure points and we will confirm the right size against the datasheet before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowl must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe it with a dry cloth. Without the K option, air cannot flow back through the unit. A filter regulator adds no oil to the line.
AirTAC publishes flow for the G series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not state one number here. Send us your flow and pressure requirements and we will confirm suitability against the datasheet on request.
The standard GFR20008 element is 40 um, which suits most actuator and general valve supply. The W suffix fits a 5 um element in the same size 200, PT1/4 body for finer protection, such as paint lines or precision instrumentation, while keeping the same drain and regulator function.
