The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator 1/4 in PT 5 um Auto Drain 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 automatic 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 GFR300-08 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is size 300 with a 1/4 in PT port, uses the 5 um filter element (code W) for finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, drains condensate automatically, and carries an embedded square gauge reading in psi. A reverse/check valve is fitted, and the unit is supplied without a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of drain types, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale options and G or NPT thread variants. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing or any datasheet figure 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. 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.
| GFR300 | G-series filter regulator, 300 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 08 | Port size PT1/4". This body offers 08 = PT1/4", 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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 machining centre, clean, regulated air to the clamping fixtures helps fixtures hold workpieces consistently; the 5 um element and automatic drain keep moisture and fine particles out of the clamp cylinders.
On a carton sealing or wrapping line, this unit feeds the conveyor stoppers and pusher cylinders with filtered air at a set pressure, while the check valve holds the downstream circuit if supply dips.
For lab autosamplers and small pneumatic actuators, the 5 um grade and automatic condensate drain support a cleaner, drier supply, with the psi gauge giving a direct reading for repeatable setpoints.
Step up through sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 as flow demand and port size grow; this size 300 unit takes a 1/4 in PT port. Drain options are differential-pressure (default), automatic (this unit) and manual; automatic draining suits installations that run unattended. Choose 40 um for general line protection or 5 um (this unit) where finer particulate removal matters. Gauge scales are offered in MPa, psi or bar (psi here), and PT is the standard thread with G and NPT available as order options. Flow is published as curves, not 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. The reflux valve permits reverse flow through the unit. A filter regulator adds no oil to the line.
AirTAC publishes flow for this family as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the flow and sizing from the datasheet on request.
This GFR300-08 drains condensate automatically (code A). The alternatives are the differential-pressure drain (the default) and manual draining (code M). Automatic draining suits installations that run unattended, since collected condensate is discharged without anyone opening the bowl.
