The AirTAC GFR20008MLC1WT AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT1/4 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 PT1/4" 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 GFR series combines water and particulate filtration with pressure regulation in a single body. This GFR200 unit is the 200 size with 1/4 in NPT ports, a 5 um filter element (code W), a manual drain and the low-pressure regulator type (code L). A round external gauge on an MPa scale is fitted so the set pressure can be read directly, and the mounting bracket is included.
It is a genuine AirTAC part for compressed air, rated for up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) inlet and -5 to 70 C (non-freezing), with a polycarbonate bowl at this size. The GFR line spans sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in and PT, G or NPT threads; the 40 um element is standard and the finer 5 um (W) is what is fitted here. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing and the datasheet for 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. 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.
| GFR200 | G-series filter regulator, 200 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 08 | Port size PT1/4". 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)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Mounting bracket included. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 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. |
| (blank) | No reverse-flow valve (the default). |
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.

Setting a reduced, stable supply to clamp cylinders on a woodworking or assembly press that runs at lower set pressures, with the 5 um element protecting the regulator seat and valve seals from scale and pipe debris.
Feeding instrument panels and pilot-operated test rigs where the operator sets a low working pressure and reads it off the fitted round MPa gauge, draining the bowl manually between runs.
Supplying pick-and-place and carton-sealing cylinders on a packaging conveyor, where filtration and regulation in one body saves a panel port and the manual drain is emptied at shift start.
The real choices on this family: step size and port to the flow your line needs (200 here, 1/4 in NPT); pick the drain - differential-pressure as standard, automatic for unattended bowls, or manual as fitted here so an operator drains the bowl at intervals; choose 40 um standard filtration or 5 um (W) for finer protection of downstream valves and cylinders; set the gauge scale to MPa, psi or bar; and order PT, G or NPT thread to match your piping - NPT is fitted on this unit. The bracket is included (code J deletes it). Because AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than one rated figure, send us your flow and pressure requirements and we will confirm sizing against 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 curves rather than a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote for this unit. Tell us your required flow and working pressure and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet on request.
L marks the low-pressure regulator type, intended for applications that run at lower set pressures; the exact regulating range for the low-pressure type is not published, so we confirm it on request. M means a manual drain: open the drain at the bottom of the polycarbonate bowl to discharge collected water, rather than relying on an automatic or differential-pressure drain.
