The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT1/4, Square Gauge 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 differential-pressure 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 size-300 filter regulator that removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration has a 1/4 in NPT port, a polycarbonate bowl with differential-pressure drain, a 40 um standard filter element, an embedded square gauge reading in psi, and a built-in reverse (check) valve, and it is supplied without a mounting bracket. 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).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with a choice of ports, PT, G or NPT threads, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) filter grades, and gauge scale options. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm 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.

Feeds filtered, pressure-regulated air to tool-clamp and chip-clearing circuits on a CNC machining centre, with the check valve holding the downstream setting if supply pressure dips.
Conditions the air feeding cylinder-driven carton-forming and sealing stations on a packaging line, keeping water and debris out of valves while holding a stable set pressure.
Supplies clean, regulated air to bench-mounted test rigs and pneumatic fixtures in a lab, where the psi gauge gives a direct local readout at the point of use.
Start with the size and port: GFR300 with a 1/4 in NPT port suits lines running at moderate flow; step up to size 400 or 600 where demand is higher, or down to size 200 for compact circuits. Choose the drain to match maintenance access: differential-pressure (this unit) drains automatically under flow, automatic (A) drains continuously, and manual (M) requires periodic bleeding. Pick 40 um for general air preparation or the 5 um W element for finer protection. Gauge scale is selectable as MPa, psi or bar (this unit is psi), and thread can be ordered as PT, G (BSPP) or NPT. A bracket (J = none) can be added for panel or wall mounting.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, ask us to confirm sizing against your application's flow demand 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 the GFR series as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a figure. Tell us your application's flow demand and we will confirm the correct size from the datasheet curves on request before you order.
This unit's differential-pressure drain bleeds condensate automatically while air is flowing through the bowl, with no operator action. If the line runs intermittently at low flow, or you want continuous draining regardless of flow, order the automatic (A) or manual (M) drain version instead.
