The AirTAC GFR300-08 AirTAC Low-Pressure Filter Regulator NPT1/4 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 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 GFR300-08 is an AirTAC GFR300 filter regulator: water and particulate filtration plus pressure regulation combined in a single body. This unit is the low-pressure type, size 300, with a 1/4 in NPT port. It carries a 5 um filter element (code W), an automatic drain on the polycarbonate bowl, a round pressure gauge with MPa scale, and a mounting bracket. No reverse/check valve is fitted.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is offered in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 in, with manual, automatic or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um elements, embedded square or external round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, and PT, G or NPT threads. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, 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. 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". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Mounting bracket included. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| T | NPT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |

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 filtered, regulated low-pressure air to directional valves and small actuators on a packaging machine's 1/4 in drop lines, with the automatic drain keeping condensate away from the valve seats.
Supplying clean, regulated low-pressure air to lab benches, test rigs and calibration setups where the 5 um element protects sensitive instruments and the round MPa gauge gives a clear local reading.
Regulating supply air to pneumatic clamps and workholding fixtures in a CNC cell, with the automatic drain handling condensate from humid shop air before it reaches the cylinder seals.
Size and port step up from 200 to 600 as demand grows; this unit is size 300 with a 1/4 in NPT port. The automatic drain here removes collected condensate without daily attention; manual (M) and differential-pressure (blank) drains are the family alternatives. The 5 um element (W code) gives finer particulate control than the standard 40 um. Gauge options are the embedded square type or an external round gauge in MPa, psi or bar - this unit has the round MPa gauge. Thread choices are PT (standard), G or NPT; a mounting bracket is included. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so send us your application and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet before you order.
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 application and required flow and we will confirm the figures from the datasheet before you order.
This unit is ordered with code A, the automatic drain, which expels collected condensate without anyone opening the bowl. The family also offers manual (M) and differential-pressure (blank) drains; automatic suits unmanned or hard-to-reach installations, while manual gives you control over when the bowl is emptied.
