The AirTAC GFR200-06 AirTAC Filter Regulator G1/8, 5 um, Manual Drain 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 manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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 configuration is the size 200 unit with a G1/8 (BSPP) port, a fine 5 um filter element (code W, versus the 40 um standard), a manual drain on the polycarbonate bowl, and the low-pressure (L) regulator type for circuits set well below standard line pressure. It is fitted with an external round gauge scaled in psi and a reverse/check valve (code K), and includes a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of manual, automatic or differential-pressure drain, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge style and scale, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the 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 CNC fixture circuit where workpieces must be held at a deliberately low, gentle set pressure, the low-pressure regulator type lets the setter dial in the clamp force, while the 5 um element keeps fine contamination out of the clamp cylinders and the check valve holds the setting if upstream supply dips.
Bench-top test rigs and analytical instruments fed from a shop-air header need clean, steady air at reduced pressure. The 5 um grade protects sensitive pneumatic controls, the psi-scaled round gauge gives a direct reading at the rig, and the G1/8 port suits compact manifold plumbing.
Low-pressure air knives and sparing jets on a packaging or filling line need filtered air regulated well below main line pressure. The manual drain lets an operator bleed the bowl during changeover, and the included bracket mounts the unit directly on the machine frame next to the jets.
Start with the port step: size 200 carries the 1/8 in port in this code, and larger sizes (300/400/600) step up to bigger ports and higher flow capacity, so match the size to the air demand of the circuit rather than the fitting alone. Choose the drain to suit access: manual drain (as here) needs an operator to bleed the bowl, automatic drain handles it unattended, and differential-pressure drain is the catalogue default. Pick 5 um filtration when downstream valves, cylinders or instruments need finer air than the 40 um standard element delivers. The round gauge here is scaled in psi; square embedded gauges and MPa or bar scales are also available. Thread options are PT (standard), G (this unit) and NPT, all orderable. Note the L code: this is the low-pressure regulator type, intended for circuits set below standard regulator ranges - its exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm it with us before ordering. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, ask us to confirm sizing against your application before you buy.
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 l/min or SCFM number we can honestly quote. Send us your application details and we will confirm the relevant flow-curve figures from the datasheet on request before you order.
The L code marks the low-pressure regulator type, intended for circuits set below standard regulator ranges; its exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm it with us on request. The M code means the polycarbonate bowl has a manual drain: an operator opens it to bleed collected water, unlike the automatic or differential-pressure drain options available in the same series.
