The AirTAC AirTAC GFR300-08 Filter Regulator 1/4 in NPT, 5 um 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 PT1/4" ports, a automatic 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 GFR300-08 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and sets downstream pressure in a single body. This size 300 unit is threaded 1/4 in NPT, fitted with the finer 5 um filter element (code W) and an automatic drain that ejects collected condensate without manual attention. It is the low-pressure regulator type, carries the embedded square gauge scaled in bar, and includes a mounting bracket. The bowl is polycarbonate, the maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in, and catalogue options include the 40 um standard element, manual or differential-pressure drains, gauge scales in MPa, psi or bar, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads alongside the PT standard. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing and datasheet figures for 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. 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.

| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |

| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |

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.

Installed at the air drop to a cartoning or wrapping machine, it cleans the supply and lets the operator hold a steady low set pressure for the machine's cylinders and valves.
Feeding the valve manifold of a pneumatic pick-and-place cell, it keeps water and fine particles out of the valves while working pressure is set at the panel.
Mounted at the take-off feeding a conveyor's air-operated gates and stoppers, the automatic drain handles condensate so the gate cylinders stay dry between shifts.
Size and port step up together: 200, 300, 400 and 600 map to ports from 1/8 to 1 in, so choose the size whose flow curve covers your air consumption - we can check the curve against your demand on request. Drain type is a real choice: automatic (this unit), manual, or differential-pressure, depending on how much attention the installation will get. The 5 um element here is the finer option against the 40 um standard, for lines where downstream valves and tools need cleaner air. The embedded square gauge is scaled in bar; MPa or psi scales and an external round gauge are available. Threads come as PT standard with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included. Because flow is published as curves, not a single rating, 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 flow for the GFR series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your application details and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
The W code orders the finer 5 um element instead of the 40 um standard, and the A code fits the automatic drain, which ejects condensate on its own instead of relying on a manual or differential-pressure dump. Both are catalogue options you can swap when ordering.
