The AirTAC GFR Filter Regulator GFR300C08AC1K 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 See datasheet 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.
The GFR300C08AC1K is an AirTAC G-series filter regulator with the K option: a reverse (check) valve fitted so a falling supply cannot draw the regulated circuit backwards through the unit. This 300-size configuration decodes with a PT1/4 port (PT is standard; G and NPT are catalogue options), the standard 40 micron element, an automatic drain (A code) on the PC bowl, and a round external pressure gauge on an MPa scale (C1 code). Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), adjustment is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the GFR300 series, which covers G-family sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, and options for drain type, 5 or 40 micron elements, gauge type and scale, check valve and bracket. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm sizing and the full datasheet for your application.

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.

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.

Keeping a regulated hold pressure on clamping and forming actuators, with the check valve holding the downstream circuit if plant air is switched off.
Regulated air for cutters, strippers and pneumatic tensioners on a cable-processing machine, with the 1/4 in port matching the machine's solenoid valves.
Supplying guard interlock and gate-locking cylinders on production machinery, where the check valve keeps locks held against supply backflow.
Match the size code (200/300/400/600) to your port and flow; this 300 model gives a 1/4 in PT drop for machine point-of-use circuits. Here you get the automatic drain (A) for unattended condensate removal, with manual (M) and differential-pressure as the other codes - manual widens adjustment to 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi). The element is the standard 40 micron; choose the W code for 5 micron. The K code is this model's distinguishing feature: a fitted reverse (check) valve against backflow. The round external gauge reads MPa; square (F) and psi or bar scales are alternatives. Bracket included; PT, G (BSPP) and T (NPT) threads are specified at order. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing 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 against pressure and pressure drop, not as one rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Give us your flow and working pressure and we will confirm sizing against the official datasheet on request.
The trailing letter sets the thread: no letter means PT as the standard for this code, while G (BSPP) and T (NPT) are orderable catalogue options. State your piping standard when ordering and we will confirm the matching variant and its datasheet on request.
