The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator 3/8 in NPT Low-Pressure is a genuine G-series filter regulator: water separation, 40 µm particulate filtration and balanced-type pressure regulation combined in a single body. It has PT3/8" ports, a differential-pressure 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 400-size unit has 3/8 in NPT ports, the standard 40 um filter element, a differential-pressure drain on the PC bowl, an embedded square gauge scaled in MPa, and a reverse (check) valve fitted. It is the low-pressure regulator type, and no mounting bracket is included (code J).
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 in, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) filtration, gauge scale options, 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 rating, so ask us to confirm 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.

| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| (blank) | Drain: Differential-pressure 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. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 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.

Filtered, low-pressure regulated air to clamp cylinders on a CNC fixture, with the fitted reverse valve blocking backflow in the downstream line.
Supplying clean, regulated air to the small cylinders and air grippers that run carton forming, filling and sealing on a packaging conveyor.
Conditioning shop air for benchtop instruments and test rigs that need particulate- and water-free air delivered at a steady low pressure.
Choose the size by port and flow: the 400 size with 3/8 in NPT suits lines run at that port, while smaller 200/300 or larger 600 bodies step port and flow capacity together. Drain options are differential-pressure (this unit, the default), automatic (A) or manual (M); filtration is 40 um standard or 5 um with code W. The embedded square gauge is scaled in MPa here, and psi or bar scales can be ordered, as can an external round gauge. Thread is NPT on this unit; PT is the standard and G (BSPP) is also a catalogue option. Code J means no mounting bracket is supplied. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, send us your application details 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. 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 line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
This unit has the differential-pressure drain, which bleeds condensate from the bowl automatically when the pressure differential is high enough; automatic (A) and manual (M) drains are order options. Filtration is the standard 40 um element; specify code W for the 5 um grade.
