The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator 3/8 in PT, 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 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 size-400 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration has a 3/8 in PT port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, a 40 um standard filter element, and an embedded square gauge reading in psi. It is the low-pressure type, and the bowl is polycarbonate (PC).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is published in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 in, drain choices (differential-pressure, automatic or manual), a 5 um optional element (code W), gauge and scale options, and G or NPT thread variants. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm 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. 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.

| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |

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.

Cleaning and regulating the shop-air feed to a machining centre's pneumatic tool-changer and clamping circuits, with the automatic drain handling condensate between shifts.
Conditioning air for conveyor stopper cylinders and carton-sealing actuators on a packaging line, keeping the low-pressure circuit steady at the set point.
Filtering and regulating air at individual machine drop legs in a textile mill, where the automatic drain clears moisture from humid intake air without operator rounds.
Start with the size and port: the 400 series steps up in flow capacity and port size from the 300, so match the 3/8 in PT connection and expected air demand of your line. Choose the drain: the automatic drain on this unit suits unattended duty; manual or differential-pressure drains are available on other codes. The 40 um element is the standard grade; specify code W for the 5 um grade if finer filtration is needed. The embedded square gauge here reads in psi; MPa and bar scales and an external round gauge are options. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included.
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. Without the K option, air cannot flow back 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 data from the datasheet on request before you order.
The L code marks this GFR400-10 as the low-pressure regulator type rather than the standard type. The exact adjustment range for the low-pressure variant is not published in the material we hold, so please ask us to confirm it on request. The standard-type range and the 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum inlet pressure still apply as published.
