The AirTAC GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AJC1K 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 GFR400C15AJC1K is an AirTAC G-series filter regulator with filtration and pressure regulation combined in one body and a drain bowl, but no lubricator. The trailing K adds a reverse (check) valve, so downstream air is not lost back through the unit when upstream supply is shut off. This 400-size unit takes a 1/2 in PT thread, includes an external round gauge reading in MPa (C1), and is supplied without a bracket (J). Drainage is automatic, the element is the standard 40 um grade, and the regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with this drain. Max inlet is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the bowl is polycarbonate (PC).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G-series filter regulator family covers 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes in ports from 1/8 to 1 in, with differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) elements, embedded square or external round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, optional reverse/check valve, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads alongside PT. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm datasheet figures on request.

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.

Feeding a clamping manifold on a machining fixture, the check valve keeps the clamped side pressurised when the upstream shut-off valve is closed, while the regulator holds the clamp pressure the fixture requires.
Installed at the drop feeding pulse tools and nutrunners on an assembly line, it filters supply dirt before the tool inlet, holds a stable set pressure for consistent fastening, and isolates the tool circuit from upstream swings.
Mounted on the air supply to a mechanical press's counterbalance and control air, the reverse valve prevents loss of the regulated control pressure when the main supply is dropped, supporting controlled shutdown of the press controls.
Specify this K-code version when the circuit must hold its regulated pressure downstream while the upstream supply is isolated, or where backflow toward the unit is possible. The 400 size with 1/2 in PT port suits lines already running 1/2 in piping; compare sizes on the flow curve, not the port alone. The automatic drain keeps maintenance hands-off; manual and differential-pressure drain codes exist if you prefer them, and they widen the low end of the adjust range to 0.05 MPa. The 40 um element is standard; the W code gives 5 um. The round gauge reads MPa, with psi and bar scales available; G (BSPP) and NPT threads are catalogue options, and dropping the J code adds a bracket. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, 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 gives flow for the GFR400 series as curves relating pressure drop to flow, not as a single rated number, so we will not quote an invented l/min or SCFM figure. Tell us your inlet pressure and the flow your circuit needs and we will confirm the datasheet values on request before you order.
K fits a reverse (check) valve in the unit, so air cannot flow backwards through it and the regulated downstream volume holds its pressure when upstream supply is removed. Everything else matches the base GFR400C15AJC1: 1/2 in PT port, automatic drain, 40 um element, external round MPa gauge, 0.15-0.9 MPa adjust range and no bracket. Leave the K out if your circuit does not need the check function.
