The AirTAC GFR20008LC2T AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT1/4, Low-Pressure 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 GFR20008LC2T is a GFR-series filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and holds a reduced working pressure downstream, in one compact body. This 200-size unit is configured with 1/4 in NPT ports, the standard 40 um filter element, a differential-pressure drain in the polycarbonate bowl, and low-pressure regulation with a round gauge scaled in psi. It is suited to circuits that must run at reduced supply pressure rather than full line pressure.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR line, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in and PT, G or NPT threads. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing and datasheet figures for your application before ordering.

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.

Fixture clamps and hold-downs that must not crush delicate workpieces run at reduced pressure. This filter regulator cleans the shop air and lets the setter dial in and hold a low working pressure, with the psi gauge giving a clear reading at the cell.
Coating and atomizing stations need clean, dry-enough air delivered at a controlled low pressure rather than full header pressure. This unit filters water and particulate at 40 um and holds the reduced setting the process requires, with the bowl draining by differential pressure.
Sealing bars, hold-down pads and gentle-eject cylinders on packaging lines often run below main line pressure. Feeding these sub-circuits through this 1/4 in NPT filter regulator isolates them from header pressure swings and keeps contaminant-laden shop air out of the actuators.
Start with the port step: this unit is 200 size with 1/4 in NPT ports; larger sizes (300/400/600) carry larger ports and more flow capacity, so match the size to the air demand of the circuit. Drain choices are differential-pressure (fitted here, which bleeds the bowl as pressure differential builds), automatic, or manual. The 40 um element is the standard grade; a 5 um element (code W) is available where finer filtration is needed. The round gauge on this unit is scaled in psi; embedded square gauges and MPa/psi/bar scales are the catalogue options. 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 cannot quote one number here. Send us your application details and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet before you order. The exact regulation range of the low-pressure type is not published in our sheet; we will confirm it on request.
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 curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a figure here. Tell us your application and air demand and we will confirm sizing and the relevant datasheet figures on request before you order.
The L in the code marks this as the low-pressure regulator type rather than the standard type, intended for circuits held at reduced working pressure. The exact regulation range of the low-pressure type is not published on our sheet, so we will confirm it on request; the standard GFR range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with differential-pressure or automatic drain.
