The AirTAC AirTAC GFR400-10 Filter Regulator 3/8 in NPT 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 PT3/8" 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 GFR400-10 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This size 400 unit is fitted with a 3/8 in NPT port, the standard 40 um filter element, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, an embedded square gauge reading in bar, and a reverse/check valve that holds downstream pressure when the upstream supply is lost. It ships without a mounting bracket. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulation range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with a choice of ports, threads (PT standard, G and NPT as order options), drain types, 5 um filtration (code W), gauge scales and bracket options. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing 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. 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.

|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| T | NPT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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.

Cleaning and regulating the shop-air feed to a CNC machining centre's pneumatic tool-change and clamping circuits, with the check valve holding clamp pressure during supply dips.
Conditioning the air feeding a cartoning or wrapping line's cylinders, where the automatic drain handles condensate on equipment that runs unattended across shifts.
Filtering and regulating the air manifold of a robotic pick-and-place cell, protecting valves and actuators from water and scale at a set working pressure.
Size 400 with a 3/8 in port sits in the upper-middle of the GFR range; step up to size 600 or down to size 300 according to the flow your line needs. Drain choices are automatic (this unit), manual, or the differential-pressure default - automatic suits points that are hard to reach or run unattended. Filtration is 40 um standard; specify the W code for 5 um where finer protection is needed. The embedded square gauge is standard and can be ordered with MPa, psi or bar scales, with an external round gauge as an option. Thread is PT as standard with G and NPT as order options, and a bracket can be added if the code omits J.
Flow for the GFR series 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. 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 as curves rather than a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote. Tell us your application and we will confirm the datasheet and sizing figures on request before you order.
The A in the code GFR40010AJF3TK specifies an automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate by itself instead of waiting for a manual bleed. Manual-drain and differential-pressure-drain versions of the same size are available; note that the regulation range differs by drain type, with manual-drain units offering the wider 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) range.
