The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator, G1/4, 5 um, Manual 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 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: water and particulate filtration plus pressure regulation in a single body. This configuration has a G1/4 (BSPP) port, the finer 5 um filter element, a manual drain on the polycarbonate (PC) bowl, and a low-pressure regulator fitted with an embedded square gauge reading in psi. No reverse/check valve is fitted and no mounting bracket is included. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, and options for drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale, thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order) and bracket. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm datasheet 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. 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.
| 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". |
| 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). |
| 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. |
| 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.

Filtered, regulated air to low-pressure clamping circuits on a machining cell, with the 5 um element protecting directional valves from particulate and water carryover.
Point-of-use air preparation for cylinders and actuators on a packaging conveyor, where the manual drain suits a line that is shut down and serviced on a fixed schedule.
Clean, regulated pilot air for valve positioners and low-pressure control loops on a process skid, with the square psi gauge giving a local setpoint readout.
Choices you can decode from the code: size 300 with a 1/4 inch port suits mid-range circuits - step up to 400 or 600 for larger ports and flow, or down to 200 for compact panels. Drain is manual here; automatic and differential-pressure variants exist if the unit cannot be drained by hand. The 5 um element (code W) is the finer option versus the 40 um standard. The gauge scale is psi; MPa and bar scales are available. Thread is G (BSPP); PT is the standard thread with G and NPT as order options, and a bracket can be specified if this one is omitted. 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. 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 as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your application details and we will confirm the flow and datasheet figures for this exact configuration on request.
The M in GFR300-08MLJF2WG specifies a manual drain: the bowl is drained by hand, which suits units visited during routine maintenance. Automatic and differential-pressure drain variants of the same size exist if the installation cannot be drained manually - ask us to quote the equivalent code.
