The AirTAC AirTAC GFR200-06 Filter Regulator 1/8 in PT, 5 um Element 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 PT1/8" 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 AirTAC GFR200-06 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single compact body. This 200-size unit is fitted with a 1/8 in PT port, a fine 5 um filtering element (the W grade), and a differential-pressure drain that bleeds collected condensate automatically whenever the pressure differential across the bowl is high enough. The regulator is the low-pressure type, a round external gauge reading in psi is fitted, and a reverse/check valve holds downstream pressure if the supply is interrupted. The polycarbonate bowl is protected by a metal mounting bracket, and the unit carries a maximum inlet pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with an operating temperature range of -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um elements, standard or low-pressure regulators, square or round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures for your application 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. The low-pressure type adjusts over a lower band than standard; we confirm the exact figures from the factory datasheet. 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.

On a bottling line, low-pressure air pushes the gate cylinders that divert bottles between the filler and the capper. This unit filters the shop air to 5 um, holds a gentle regulated supply, and its check valve keeps the gates in position during a brief supply dip.
In a water-treatment laboratory bench setup, low-pressure air is sparged through sample columns. The 5 um element protects the fine sparge fittings from particulate, the psi gauge gives a direct reading for repeatable runs, and the PC bowl collects moisture before it reaches the apparatus.
Low-pressure clamping jaws on a carton-sealing packaging line need clean, steady air rather than full line pressure. This filter regulator trims the supply to the low working range the jaws need, the check valve holds clamp force if the main supply drops, and the differential-pressure drain keeps condensate out of the valve bank.
Start with the size and port: the 200 series with a 1/8 in PT port suits compact circuits, and you can step up to 300, 400 or 600 if the application needs a larger port. This unit is already configured with the 5 um fine element; the catalogue alternative is the standard 40 um grade if coarser filtration is acceptable. The differential-pressure drain is the no-touch default; automatic (A) and manual (M) drains are available if you prefer timed or hands-on purging. The fitted round gauge reads in psi; square embedded gauges and MPa or bar scales are the other catalogue options. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT orderable as specifications. A bracket is included on this unit.
One honest note on sizing: AirTAC publishes flow for this series as curves, not as a single rated number, so we cannot quote you a rated flow figure. Send us your application details and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves before you order. The exact regulation range of the low-pressure type is not published in the catalogue; we will confirm it on request.
Quick checklist
The PC bowl must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe it with a dry cloth. The reflux valve permits reverse flow through the unit. A filter regulator adds no oil to the line.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GFR series only as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant datasheet figures on request before you order.
A differential-pressure drain releases collected condensate automatically when the pressure differential across the bowl is high enough, so there is no routine manual purging. If you prefer an automatic drain (code A) or a manual drain (code M), both are catalogue options in this series - note that the manual-drain variant changes the inlet pressure rating and the regulator adjustment range, so ask us to confirm the details for the configuration you need.
