The AirTAC AirTAC GFR400C15C3T Filter Regulator 1/2 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 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 AirTAC GFR400C15C3T is a size 400 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in one body. This configuration carries a 1/2 in NPT port, the standard 40 um filter element, and a differential-pressure drain that bleeds condensate automatically whenever the pressure differential across the element is high enough. The fitted round gauge reads in bar, so the set pressure is visible at a glance, and the standard regulator covers an adjustment range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of 40 um or 5 um filtration, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, and PT, G or NPT threads. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet figures for your application.

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.

Clean and regulate the compressed air feeding a production hall's distribution header, giving each drop a set, visible supply pressure with condensate handled by the differential-pressure drain.
Feed conveyor stoppers, diverters and pneumatic cylinders from a filtered, regulated supply so clamping and diverting sequences hold a consistent setpoint through the shift.
Supply instrument-quality air to pneumatic valve actuators on a process line, where the 40 um element protects positioners and the bar gauge lets technicians verify the set pressure.
Start with the port and size: this unit steps up to 1/2 in NPT on the size 400 body, which suits lines with higher air demand than the 200/300 sizes - match the port step to your piping and required flow. Choose the drain to match the site: differential-pressure drain (as fitted here) needs no operator attention, automatic drain suits unattended duty, and manual drain suits low-condensate or periodically inspected installations. Filter grade is 40 um standard; specify the W option for 5 um where finer protection is needed. The round bar gauge fitted here is one of the gauge and scale choices (square embedded or external round; MPa, psi or bar scales); PT is the standard thread with G and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, we do not quote a flow number here. Send us your application details and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet before you order.
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, not as a single rated number, so we do not state a flow figure here. Contact us with your application details and we will confirm the datasheet flow curves and sizing for your line before you order.
The differential-pressure drain bleeds collected condensate automatically when the pressure drop across the 40 um element rises, so it needs no daily manual draining. If your installation is better suited to a fully automatic or a manual drain, the GFR400 series is available with those drain options - ask us for the alternative model code.
