The AirTAC GFR20008MC2W AirTAC Filter Regulator PT1/4, 5 um Manual 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 PT1/4" 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 GFR20008MC2W is a filter regulator: filtration and pressure regulation combined in one body. Compressed air first passes through the 5 um filter element, which removes water and particulate down to fine grade, then flows to the standard regulator that sets and holds downstream pressure anywhere in the 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) range. This configuration is the size 200 unit with PT1/4 (1/4 in) ports, a manual drain on the PC bowl, a round gauge fitted reading in psi, and a mounting bracket included. The polycarbonate bowl lets you see accumulated condensate, and the manual drain is emptied by hand as part of routine checks.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR filter-regulator line, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in up to 1 in. Within the line you can order automatic, manual or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um filter grades, embedded square or external round gauges with MPa, psi or bar scales, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads instead of the PT standard. Rated flow for this unit is published as a curve rather than a single figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet numbers against 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 0.05 - 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.

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, regulated air feeding tool-change cylinders and clamping fixtures on a machining centre, where the 5 um grade protects fine valve internals from particles and water carryover.
Point-of-use pressure control for sealing jaws and vacuum generator supply on a carton or bag packaging machine, with the round psi gauge giving operators a direct setpoint readout.
Filtering and regulating the air feed to paint spray guns in a finishing booth, where dry, particle-free air at a stable set pressure is a prerequisite for consistent finish quality.
Start with the port and size step: this unit is size 200 with PT1/4 (1/4 in) ports, the smallest GFR frame - step up to 300, 400 or 600 if your line runs larger ports or higher air demand. Choose the drain to match maintenance habits: this manual-drain version is emptied by hand, while automatic and differential-pressure drains discharge condensate without operator attention. The 5 um element here is the finer option; 40 um is the standard grade if only coarse protection is needed. The fitted round gauge reads in psi; square embedded gauges and MPa or bar scales are alternatives. PT is the standard thread and G (BSPP) or NPT are order options, and the bracket is included. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, send us your air demand and we will confirm sizing from 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 GFR series as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number here. Tell us your line pressure, set pressure and air demand, and we will confirm the flow data from the datasheet for this 1/4 in unit before you order.
The M in the code specifies a manual drain: condensate collected in the PC bowl is released by hand during routine checks. AirTAC also offers an automatic drain (code A) and a differential-pressure drain (the default) on GFR units if you prefer unattended condensate discharge - just ask for the equivalent model code.
