The AirTAC GFR300-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator 3/8 in NPT, 5 um 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 PT3/8" 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 GFR300-10 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is the size 300 unit with a 3/8 in NPT port, a fine 5 um filter element (code W), an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, and a reverse/check valve (code K) that holds downstream pressure when the supply is lost. The fitted round gauge reads in bar, and the standard regulator covers an adjustment range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The polycarbonate bowl suits the size 300 frame; only the 600 size uses an aluminium alloy bowl.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 in, a choice of PT, G or NPT thread, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge and scale options, and an optional reverse/check valve. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the 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, regulated air to the tool-change cylinders and pneumatic clamps on a CNC machining centre, with the 5 um element protecting directional valves from particulate and the check valve holding clamp pressure during a supply dip.
Supplies regulated air to the divert gates, pushers and sealing jaws of a carton packaging line, where the automatic drain keeps condensate out of the mechanism between shifts without an operator visiting the drop.
Conditions the air feeding the fixture clamps and weld-gun actuators in a robotic welding cell, with the round bar gauge giving the cell technician a local pressure reference and the check valve guarding clamp force against line drops.
Choose the size and port step against the air consumption of the machines downstream: the GFR series steps through sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, and this unit sits at size 300 with a 3/8 in NPT port. The 5 um element (code W) suits instruments, valves and actuators that need finer filtration than the 40 um standard element. The automatic drain on this unit suits unattended or hard-to-reach installations; manual and differential-pressure drains are available on other codes. The round bar gauge is fitted here, with embedded square gauges and MPa, psi or bar scales available. Thread is NPT on this code, with PT and G offered across the range, and a mounting bracket is included.
Because flow is published as curves rather than 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. 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 rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow, Cv or SCFM number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet on request before you order.
The A in the code sets the automatic drain, which expels collected condensate from the bowl on its own instead of relying on a manual or differential-pressure drain - useful for unattended installations. The W sets the fine 5 um filter element in place of the 40 um standard element.
