The AirTAC GFR200-06 NPT AirTAC Filter Regulator, 1/8 in, 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 PT1/8" 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 compact filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and holds a set downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is ordered with 1/8 in NPT ports, a fine 5 um filter element (the tighter of the two catalogue grades, for air that feeds sensitive pneumatic components), a manual drain you operate by hand to empty the bowl, and a round external pressure gauge reading in bar. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulation range for this manual-drain version is 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The polycarbonate bowl is fitted without a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the GFR200 size class, the smallest of the G-series filter-regulator sizes (200/300/400/600), each with its own port and flow step. Thread options PT, G and NPT, drain types, filter grades, gauge styles and scales are catalogue choices, so the unit can be matched to the rest of your air-preparation stack. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating; ask us and we will confirm the datasheet and flow 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

|---|---|
| 06 | Port size PT1/8". This body offers 06 = PT1/8", 08 = PT1/4". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |

| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| T | NPT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |

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 packaging line's carton-sealer, this unit filters the shop air to 5 um and holds a steady regulated pressure to the tape-head and flap-tuck cylinders, with the bar gauge giving the line operator a visible setpoint and the manual drain emptied at shift checks.
At a laboratory pneumatic test bench, the 5 um element protects precision test fixtures from water and particulate, while the regulator sets repeatable low test pressures down to 0.05 MPa and the round bar gauge lets the technician read the setpoint directly.
On a bottling plant's conveyor gating station, this filter regulator conditions the air feeding the gate and stopper cylinders, keeping moisture and grit out of the valves and holding a stable pressure so gate timing stays consistent across the shift.
Start with the port step: the GFR200 size carries 1/8 in ports here, and each larger size (300/400/600) steps up in port and flow capacity, so match the size to the air demand of the circuit rather than only to the existing thread. This unit is ordered with a manual drain, which suits points of use where someone is present to drain the bowl; an automatic drain removes that task, and the differential-pressure drain is the catalogue default. The 5 um element ordered here is the finer option against the 40 um standard - choose 5 um when downstream valves, cylinders or instruments need cleaner air. The round external gauge in bar is fitted as ordered; an embedded square gauge with MPa, psi or bar scales is the alternative. NPT is the thread on this unit; PT and G are catalogue options. A mounting bracket is ordered separately if the unit is not piped directly.
One honest note on sizing: filter-regulator flow is published as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we cannot quote a rated flow number. Send us your application details and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves 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 filter-regulator flow as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so there is no rated flow number we can honestly quote. Send us your application - port size, downstream demand and required pressure - and we will confirm the datasheet and flow curves for the GFR200-06 on request before you order.
The GFR series is available with a 40 um element as standard or a finer 5 um element (the W option, which is what this unit carries). The 5 um grade removes finer particulate and carries less water through to the air side, which suits feeding directional valves, precision cylinders or instruments. It is a decodable order code choice, not an adjustment - the element grade is fixed by the model you order.
