The AirTAC GFR20008JC2G AirTAC Filter Regulator G1/4 40 um 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 PT1/4" 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 GFR20008JC2G is a GFR200-series filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and holds downstream pressure at your setpoint in one compact body. This configuration is built around a G1/4 (BSPP) 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 - no daily manual draining on a well-loaded line. The J code in the model means it is ordered without a mounting bracket, and the C2 code specifies the external round pressure gauge with a psi scale; the embedded square gauge is the standard alternative if you ever re-specify. The regulator is the standard type with an adjustment range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), the polycarbonate bowl suits the 200 size, maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans four sizes (200, 300, 400 and 600) with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 inch, optional 5 um (W) filtration, manual or automatic drains, gauge scale choices in MPa, psi or bar, and G or NPT thread variants alongside the PT standard. We do not quote a single rated flow figure for this unit because AirTAC publishes flow as curves, not one number - ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures against your application before you order.

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.

On a bench press or fixture-clamping circuit, this unit filters water and chips out of the shop air supply and holds a steady regulated pressure so clamp force stays repeatable from the first cycle to the last. The differential-pressure drain keeps condensate moving out without an operator stopping by each shift.
Carton sealers, case packers and labelling heads on a packaging line run cylinders and air valves continuously. Feeding them through this G1/4 filter regulator keeps moisture and 40 um-and-larger particles out of the valve seats while the round psi gauge lets the line technician verify set pressure at a glance.
Robotic gripper panels and small actuator manifolds in an assembly cell need clean, pressure-stable air at a fixed point of use. Mounted at the cell drop, this unit regulates the branch down to the working pressure and protects the downstream components, with the psi-scaled gauge matching US shop-floor practice.
Start with the size and port: the 200 size with its 1/4 in port suits lighter branch lines, and stepping up to GFR300, GFR400 or GFR600 buys larger ports and more flow capacity - match the step to the air demand of the circuit rather than oversizing on guesswork. Then settle the decodable options: drain type (differential-pressure as fitted here, or automatic A or manual M), filter grade (40 um standard, 5 um with the W code where finer filtration is needed), gauge type and scale (this unit carries the round gauge in psi; square-gauge versions read MPa, psi or bar), thread (PT is the catalogue standard, with G and NPT as orderable variants), and bracket (this J-coded unit omits it).
One honest note on sizing: AirTAC publishes flow for the GFR series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we cannot quote you one number here. Send us your line pressure, set pressure and expected air demand, and we will confirm the correct size against the datasheet curves before you place the 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 GFR series as performance curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a l/min, m3/h or SCFM figure for this unit. Tell us your inlet pressure, set pressure and air demand, and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
The 40 um element is the GFR series standard and handles typical water and particulate removal for general plant air. If your application needs finer filtration, the same filter regulator is available with the W code specifying a 5 um element - just ask for the W variant when ordering.
