The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT 3/8 in, 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 AirTAC GFR400-10 is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and holds downstream pressure at your setpoint in a single body. This unit is built on the size-400 frame with 3/8 in NPT ports, a 5 um filter element (the finer of the two published grades), an automatic drain that ejects collected condensate without manual attention, a round pressure gauge reading in bar, and a reverse/check valve fitted. The polycarbonate bowl lets you see the condensate level at a glance.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR line 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 filtration, square or round gauges with MPa, psi or bar scales, 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 the 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. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 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.

| 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)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |

| C | Gauge shape: Round. 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. |

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.

Feeding clean, regulated air to the tool-clamp and pallet-clamp circuits of a CNC machining centre, where the 5 um element protects clamping valves from particles and the regulator holds a steady clamp pressure.
Supplying regulated air to the cylinder-driven tuck-and-fold and tape heads of a carton sealing line, with the automatic drain keeping condensate out of the valves during multi-shift running.
Powering the diverter gates and stoppers along a warehouse conveyor line, where the fitted check valve holds downstream pressure if the supply dips and the bar gauge gives operators a setpoint to verify at a glance.
Size and port: step up or down through 200, 300, 400 and 600 to match the port and flow path your line needs; this size-400 unit carries 3/8 in NPT threads (PT is the standard thread, with G and NPT available to order). Drain: choose differential-pressure (the default), automatic, as fitted here, or manual - note the manual-drain version widens the regulation range down to 0.05 MPa (7 psi). Filter grade: 40 um is standard and 5 um (code W) suits finer-particle duty; this unit carries the 5 um element. Gauge: an embedded square gauge is standard, with an external round gauge optional in MPa, psi or bar scales - this unit has the round gauge in bar. A mounting bracket is included. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, send us your air demand 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 G-series flow as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number here. Send us your line pressure, set pressure and air demand and we will confirm the flow from the datasheet for this exact 3/8 in configuration before you order.
This unit carries the A-code automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate without daily attention - useful on unattended or multi-shift lines. The same GFR400 body is also available with the differential-pressure drain (the default) or a manual drain; note the manual version allows regulation down to 0.05 MPa (7 psi).
