The AirTAC GFR400-10 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 GFR400-10 is an AirTAC GFR-series filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This size 400 unit is supplied with a 3/8 in NPT port, a 5 um filter element (the finer of the two published grades), an automatic drain on a polycarbonate bowl, a low-pressure regulator, an embedded square gauge reading in bar, and a reverse/check valve fitted; no mounting bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in, a choice of drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale options, PT standard thread with G and NPT to order, and bracket options. 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 rating, so ask us to confirm sizing figures from the datasheet 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.
| 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. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 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.

A 5 um element and low-pressure regulation suit finishing lines where spray guns and atomising air need clean, steady air at reduced pressure, while the automatic drain keeps condensate out of the finish.
On machining cells with air-actuated clamps, the regulator holds the clamping circuit at a set pressure while the 5 um element protects directional valves from dirt and water carryover.
Filling and carton-sealing machines running air cylinders benefit from a filtered, regulated supply; the fitted reverse/check valve holds downstream pressure if the upstream supply dips, and the auto drain handles condensate.
Size and port set the air capacity: this 400-series unit steps up from the 300 series with a 3/8 in port, so size it against the flow your circuit needs. It pairs a 5 um element (choose 40 um where only coarse water and dirt removal is required) with an automatic drain, which bleeds condensate without manual attention; manual and differential-pressure drains are the alternatives. The low-pressure regulator suits circuits working at reduced set pressures - the exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm it with us. The square gauge reads in bar; MPa and psi scales are options. NPT is the thread on this unit; PT is the catalogue standard and G (BSPP) is also available. No bracket is fitted - order a bracket variant if panel or wall mounting is needed. 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, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Tell us your application and we will confirm the flow and sizing figures from the datasheet on request.
This GFR400-10 carries the L code, so its regulator is the low-pressure version rather than the standard one. The exact adjustment range for the low-pressure type is not published, so confirm the range with us before ordering if your circuit runs at low set pressures.
