The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT1/4, Auto Drain, Bar 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 body. This 300-size unit is threaded NPT1/4 (1/4 in), carries a 40 um filter element, drains condensate automatically, and is fitted with an embedded square gauge scaled in bar. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulator adjusts from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The polycarbonate bowl suits the 300 size; the J code means no mounting bracket is supplied.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, optional 5 um filtration (code W), manual or differential-pressure drain alternatives, MPa/psi/bar gauge scales, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet figures 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.

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.

Clean, regulated air for tool-clamp actuation and air-blast chip clearing on a machining centre, with the automatic drain handling condensate between shifts.
Feeding pneumatic cylinders and diverters on a carton-sealing conveyor, where the 40 um element protects valve spools and the bar gauge keeps set pressure visible.
Prepping air at the gun feed on a finishing line, holding a steady regulator setting so spray pressure stays consistent while water and dirt are stripped out.
Step up or down through the GFR sizes (200/300/400/600) to match the port and flow requirement of your line - a 1/4 in NPT port like this one suits typical machine-level drops. Choose the drain to match attendance: automatic drain (this unit) suits unattended or enclosed installations, manual drain suits regularly checked points, and differential-pressure drain is the catalogue default. The 40 um element is standard; specify the W code for 5 um where finer pre-filtration is needed. The embedded square gauge here reads in bar; MPa and psi scales and an external round gauge are options. PT is the standard thread, with G and NPT as order options, and a bracket can be added if this J (no bracket) build needs one. 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, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Tell us your line pressure and the flow your application needs, and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request before you order.
The A code fits an automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate without anyone opening the bowl - useful for enclosed or hard-to-reach installations. Manual and differential-pressure drain versions are available in the same GFR300 family if you prefer a different arrangement.
