The AirTAC GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AJC1W 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 GFR400C15AJC1W is an AirTAC G-series filter regulator: filter and regulator in one body with a drain bowl, no lubricator. The W in the code specifies the fine 5 um element instead of the 40 um standard, for circuits where smaller particles must be removed ahead of sensitive equipment. 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, so condensate is expelled without operator attention. Regulation range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with the automatic 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 spans 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 (K), and G (BSPP) or NPT thread options alongside the PT standard. Flow figures are published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm datasheet values 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 air to sample-handling pneumatics and enclosure purges on a lab or pilot-plant analyser train, the 5 um element removes finer particles before the instrument-side valves, and the automatic drain copes with condensate in unattended runs.
Installed on the atomizing and trigger-air drop to a spray gun in a finishing booth, the 5 um grade keeps fine particulate out of the gun's air passages while the regulator pins the atomizing pressure the finish recipe calls for.
Mounted where the shop air enters a CNC machining centre, it conditions the air feeding tool changers, spindle air seals and clamping circuits, with the 5 um element giving finer protection for the machine's sensitive pneumatic components.
Choose this W code when 40 um is not fine enough for what sits downstream and you want the 5 um element; keep the standard grade for general actuator supply where fine filtration adds differential pressure for no benefit. The 400 size with 1/2 in PT port matches lines already in 1/2 in piping; step sizes by comparing the flow curves for your duty point, not the port alone. Automatic drain keeps bowl drainage hands-off on this version. The round gauge reads MPa; psi (scale 2) and bar (scale 3) scales are options, and G (BSPP) and NPT threads can be ordered instead of PT. A bracket is available by dropping the J code. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, 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 flow for the GFR400 series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we cannot honestly quote one l/min or SCFM number, and the finer 5 um element does affect the curve compared with 40 um. Share your operating pressure and duty flow and we will confirm the datasheet figures on request before you order.
Use W when the equipment directly downstream is sensitive to finer particles: spray guns, instrumentation, precision air motors or machine-tool internals. Stay with the standard 40 um grade for general cylinders and valve islands where the finer grade buys you nothing. The rest of the code is unchanged: 1/2 in PT port, automatic drain, MPa round gauge, no bracket, 0.15-0.9 MPa adjust range, 1.0 MPa max inlet.
