The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator 3/8 in, 5 um, Auto Drain 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 GFR400-10 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This size 400 unit is fitted with a PT3/8 (3/8 in) port, a 5 um filter element for finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, and a round external gauge reading in psi. It is the low-pressure (L) type, carries a reverse/check valve, and includes a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of drain types, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge styles and scales, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, 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. 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.
| GFR400 | G-series filter regulator, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 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. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT 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.

Point-of-use conditioning and pressure setting on a stamping or forming press fed at moderate line pressure, where the low-pressure type and a 5 um element protect the valve stack and set a stable working pressure.
Conditioning air to paint or coating applicators, where the 5 um element keeps fine particulate out of the finish and the automatic drain handles condensate between shifts without operator attention.
A filtered, regulated air drop to cartoning or wrapping machinery, with the psi gauge giving operators a local pressure reading and the check valve holding set pressure against backflow.
Choose the size and port step (200 through 600, 1/8 in to 1 in) against the air demand of the circuit; this 400 unit with PT3/8 suits mid-to-large lines. Pick the drain type: automatic (as here) for unattended condensate removal, manual for periodic draining, or the differential-pressure default. Select 40 um for general protection or 5 um (this unit) where finer filtration matters, and match the gauge scale (MPa, psi or bar) to your instruments. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT available as order options; a bracket is included.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering. The low-pressure type's regulation range is not published here; we confirm it on request.
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 number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the datasheet and sizing figures on request before you order.
The L in the code marks the low-pressure regulator type, intended for circuits set below the standard unit's range; its exact regulation range is not published here, so we confirm it on request. The A in the code is the automatic drain, which discharges collected condensate from the PC bowl by itself instead of waiting for a manual drain pull.
