The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator 3/8 in PT, 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 AirTAC GFR400-10 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in one body. This size 400 unit is threaded PT3/8 (3/8 in, PT standard). It is fitted with a 5 um filter element for finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, a manual drain for the polycarbonate bowl, a round gauge reading in psi, and a reverse (check) valve. The standard regulator covers an adjustment range of 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), with a maximum inlet pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and an operating temperature of -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with a range of ports, drains, filter grades, gauges and thread options (PT standard; G and NPT are order options). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm flow and other datasheet 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.
| 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". |
| 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). |
| 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.

On a machine-shop press line, the GFR400-10 cleans the shop air to 5 um and holds a set working pressure to the clamping cylinders, with the psi gauge giving the operator a direct reading at the station.
For bench test rigs and lab equipment fed from a compressed-air ring main, the fine 5 um element protects sensitive instruments and the regulator sets a stable, repeatable supply pressure for each test.
On a packaging line driving conveyor diverters and carton-closing cylinders, this unit filters water and debris out of the supply, regulates the pressure to the actuators, and the check valve keeps the circuit pressurised during brief supply dips.
Size 400 with a 3/8 in port suits lines whose air demand sits in the mid-range of the GFR family; step up to size 600 or down to 300/200 according to the flow your application needs. The 5 um element (code W) is the right choice where finer particulate removal matters; the 40 um standard grade remains available on other variants. The manual drain means someone empties the bowl on a routine basis - choose the automatic or differential-pressure drain variants if that does not fit your maintenance schedule. The round psi gauge is one of the gauge and scale options (MPa, psi or bar), and the fitted check valve holds downstream pressure if the supply drops. No mounting bracket is included on this variant; bracket options exist across the family. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so 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 GFR400 series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Tell us your application and required flow and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
The M in the code means the polycarbonate bowl is emptied by hand on a routine schedule. Other GFR400 variants offer an automatic drain or the default differential-pressure drain if you prefer not to rely on manual draining.
