The AirTAC AirTAC GFR200-08 Filter Regulator (GFR20008MC3) is a genuine G-series filter regulator: water separation, 40 µm particulate filtration and balanced-type pressure regulation combined in a single body. It has PT1/4" ports, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi). It does not lubricate — add a GL lubricator, or order the GFC two-unit set, if downstream equipment needs oil.
The AirTAC GFR series combines filtration and pressure regulation in a single body: air passes through the drain bowl, where water and particulate are stripped out, then through the regulating valve that sets downstream pressure. This GFR20008MC3 is the size 200 unit with a 1/4 in PT port, a manual drain, the standard 40 um filter element and an external round pressure gauge scaled in bar. With a manual drain the bowl is emptied by hand, and the regulator adjustment range on a manual-drain unit is 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi); maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with a choice of port size, thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), drain type, filter grade and gauge. The size 200 bowl is polycarbonate and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C. Rated flow is published as curves rather than a single figure, so ask us to confirm sizing and the datasheet against your application before ordering.

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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |

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.

Fitted at the 1/4 in drops feeding hand tools and small actuators along an assembly line, it removes line water with the standard 40 um element and lets each station set its own working pressure in bar.
Installed upstream of the cylinders that drive gates, stoppers and pushers on a conveyor line, it cleans the supply and holds the pressure the transfer sequence was set up with.
Placed at a cleaning station using air guns or blow-off nozzles, it strips condensed water before the nozzles and gives the operator a bar-scaled gauge to set a comfortable working pressure.
Size 200 with a 1/4 in port is the compact step of the G series; step up to 300, 400 or 600 when the line needs a larger connection or more flow. This unit has a manual drain, so plan to bleed the bowl by hand at intervals - if the position is unattended, the automatic or differential-pressure drain versions are the better fit. The standard 40 um element suits general-purpose air preparation; specify the W version if you need the finer 5 um grade. The round gauge here reads in bar; MPa and psi scales are orderable alternatives. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT as catalogue options, and a mounting bracket is included. Flow is published as curves, not a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application 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 G-series flow as curves rather than a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote. Send us your line pressure and required flow and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet on request.
The 40 um element is the standard grade and suits general-purpose air preparation for tools, cylinders and actuators. If the downstream equipment is dirt-sensitive - pilot supplies, precision valves, delicate instruments - choose the W version with the 5 um element. This unit otherwise decodes as size 200, 1/4 in PT port, manual drain and a round bar gauge.
