The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator 1/4 in PT, Auto Drain 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 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 300-size body with a 1/4 in PT port. This configuration carries the standard 40 um filter element, an automatic drain that ejects collected condensate without manual attention, and a fitted embedded square gauge reading in psi. The standard regulator covers an adjustment range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The polycarbonate bowl suits this 300 size, and the J suffix means the unit is supplied without a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and with choices of drain type, filter grade, gauge scale and thread form. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and flow figures for your application on request.

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.

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.

Feeding clamping cylinders on a machining fixture: the 40 um element keeps water and swarf-laden condensate out of the cylinder seals, while the regulator holds a steady clamping pressure read directly on the psi gauge.
Point-of-use conditioning for carton-sealing and wrapping machines: the automatic drain handles condensate build-up through continuous shifts, and the 1/4 in PT port suits the machine's standard air inlet.
Protecting solenoid valves and air-operated control components on a panel build: filtered, regulated air at a set psi, with the embedded square gauge giving operators a visible setpoint without opening the enclosure.
Choose the size and port step against the air demand of the circuit: this 300-size unit takes a 1/4 in PT port, and larger sizes step up in both port and flow capacity. Drain type is a real choice on GFR units: this one is automatic (code A), while manual and differential-pressure drains are also catalogue options. Filter grade is 40 um as standard here; specify the W code for the 5 um element if finer filtration is needed. The fitted square gauge reads in psi (scale 2); MPa and bar scales and an external round gauge are alternatives. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT available as order options, and a mounting bracket can be added if this no-bracket version does not suit your panel. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so 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 the GFR300 series 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 figures from the datasheet on request before you order.
The A in the code GFR30008AJF2 specifies an automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate from the polycarbonate bowl without operator attention. Manual and differential-pressure drains are also catalogue options on GFR units if you prefer a different drain behaviour.
