The AirTAC GFR20008MLC2G AirTAC Low-Pressure Filter Regulator G1/4 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 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 GFR20008MLC2G is a filter regulator: water and particulate removal plus pressure regulation combined in one compact body. This 200-size unit is ported G1/4 (1/4 in, G/BSPP thread), carries a 40 um standard filter element, and has a manual-drain polycarbonate bowl that you empty by hand. The regulator is the low-pressure type, and a round gauge scaled in psi is fitted so you can read and set downstream pressure directly. A mounting bracket is included; no reverse/check valve is fitted.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with port options from 1/8 in to 1 in, drain choices (manual, automatic or differential-pressure), a 5 um element option, gauge and scale choices, and G or NPT thread variants. Flow figures are published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet 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.
| 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. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| G | G (BSPP) 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.

Filter, regulate and gauge the pilot-air leg of a packaging machine's valve manifold in one body, with the psi round gauge giving the setter a direct pressure readout at the machine.
Feed stopper and gate cylinders along a bottling or carton conveyor line: the 40 um element keeps water and debris out of the cylinders while the low-pressure regulator holds the circuit at its set point.
A compact filtered, regulated drop at a workshop bench or test rig: bracket mounting fixes the unit to the panel, the manual-drain bowl is emptied at the end of a shift, and the gauge shows working pressure in psi.
Start with the port step: this unit is 200 size at G1/4 (1/4 in); larger GFR sizes (300/400/600) step up in port and flow capacity, so match the size to the air demand of the circuit. Drain type is a real choice: this code has a manual drain (empty by hand); automatic and differential-pressure drains are available on other codes if you cannot service the bowl regularly. The 40 um element fitted here is the standard grade; specify the W code for the 5 um option where finer filtration is needed. The fitted round gauge reads in psi; embedded square gauges and MPa/psi/bar scales are alternatives. Thread is G (BSPP) here; PT is the standard thread and G/NPT are order options. Bracket included on this code.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
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 this family as characteristic curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a flow number. Send us your application details and we will confirm the flow and datasheet figures for the GFR200 at G1/4 on request before you order.
This code carries an M (manual) drain: the polycarbonate bowl is emptied by hand, which suits stations that are visited regularly. If the unit will be left unattended, other GFR codes offer an automatic drain (A) or the differential-pressure drain fitted as the family default; the choice is made at ordering.
