The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator 1/4 in PT, Low-Pressure 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 GFR300-08 is an AirTAC GFR300 filter regulator: filtration and pressure regulation combined in a single body. It removes water and particulate from compressed air through a 40 um element and lets you set a downstream pressure with the built-in regulator. This unit is the low-pressure type, comes with a manual drain in the PC (polycarbonate) bowl, a round external gauge reading in psi, a 1/4 in PT port, and is supplied without a mounting bracket. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
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 (40 um standard, 5 um optional), gauge style and scale, thread type and bracket. Flow figures are published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing 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.

|---|---|
| 08 | Port size PT1/4". This body offers 08 = PT1/4", 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| 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. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (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. |
| (blank) | PT 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.

Feeds filtered, regulated air to clamp and hold-down cylinders on a packaging machine where the actuator circuit runs at a reduced pressure set locally at the machine.
Supplies clean, pressure-set air to pneumatic valve actuators and positioners on a plant line, with the manual drain emptied during scheduled rounds.
Conditions the air feeding pushers, diverters and stopper cylinders on a sorting or assembly conveyor, protecting the actuators from water and particulate carryover.
Start with the size and port: 200, 300, 400 and 600 step up in port size and flow capacity, so match the step to the air demand of the downstream circuit - this 300 size carries a 1/4 in PT port. For drainage, choose manual (as here, you drain the bowl by hand on a routine), automatic, or differential-pressure operation. Filter grade is 40 um standard; specify the W option for 5 um where finer filtration is needed. Gauge style and scale are selectable (embedded square gauge standard, external round gauge optional, MPa/psi/bar scales), and thread is PT as standard with G (BSPP) and NPT available to order. A bracket can be added if you want panel or wall fixing. 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 GFR series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote. Send us your application details and we will confirm the flow and sizing from the datasheet on request.
This GFR300-08 is specified with a manual drain: water collected in the bowl is released by hand as part of a maintenance routine. AirTAC also offers automatic and differential-pressure drains on the GFR family, which suit installations where regular manual draining is not practical.
