The AirTAC GFR300-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT 3/8 in, 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 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 GFR300-10 is an AirTAC GFR-series filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single compact body. This 300-size unit is threaded NPT 3/8 in and is set up with 5 um filtration (the finer W grade, versus the standard 40 um element), a manual drain for the polycarbonate bowl, an embedded square pressure gauge scaled in MPa, and a built-in reverse/check valve that holds downstream pressure when the upstream supply is lost. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulator covers 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 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 port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of manual, automatic or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge and thread options, and an optional mounting bracket. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing figures 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". 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)). |
| (blank) | Standard 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. |
| 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. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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 clean, regulated air to the tool-clamp and chip-clearing circuits of a machining centre, with the 5 um element protecting tight-tolerance valves and the check valve holding clamp pressure if the shop supply drops.
Supplies regulated air to the cylinders and grippers on a carton-forming and sealing conveyor, where steady downstream pressure keeps cycle timing consistent across the shift.
Conditions the air feeding bench-mounted test rigs and analytical instruments, with fine 5 um filtration guarding sensitive components and the manual drain allowing controlled bowl bleeding between runs.
Choose the size and port step against the air demand of the circuit: this 300-size unit carries 3/8 in NPT ports, and larger sizes move more flow at the same pressure. The 5 um element here suits downstream equipment that needs finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade; note that finer filtration can increase pressure drop, so verify sizing before ordering. The manual drain requires periodic bleeding of the bowl, unlike the automatic or differential-pressure drain options. The fitted square gauge reads in MPa; psi and bar scales and an external round gauge are also available. NPT is the thread option ordered here - PT is the standard thread and G (BSPP) is the alternative. No mounting bracket is included with the J code. 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 G-series flow as performance curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow, Cv or SCFM number. Send us your application details and we will confirm the flow and sizing figures from the datasheet on request.
The M in the code specifies a manual drain: the bowl must be bled periodically to remove collected water. AirTAC also offers an automatic drain (code A) and a differential-pressure drain (blank) on GFR units if you prefer unattended moisture removal. With the manual drain fitted, the regulator adjustment range is 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi).
