The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT3/8, 5 um, Manual Drain 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 size-400 filter regulator that removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration has a 3/8 in NPT port, a manual drain bowl in polycarbonate, a 5 um filter element for finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, an embedded square pressure gauge scaled in MPa, and a built-in reverse/check valve that holds the set pressure when the upstream supply is lost. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulator adjustment range with manual drain is 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of manual, automatic or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um filtration, square or round gauges with MPa, psi or bar scales, and G, NPT or PT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing figures for your application 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.

| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 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.

Feeds clean, regulated air to the tool-change and clamping circuits of a machining centre, with the 5 um element protecting fine spool valves from particulate and the check valve holding clamp pressure during a supply dip.
Prepares air for the cylinder bank and valve manifold on a cartoning or wrapping line: filtered to 5 um for the directional valves, regulated to the set pressure, and drained by hand at the start of each shift.
Supplies regulated air to spray and coating equipment where finer 5 um filtration helps keep water and debris out of the finish, with the manual drain emptied as part of the line's housekeeping routine.
Size 400 with a 3/8 in port sits in the upper-middle of the GFR range; step up to size 600 or down to 300 depending on the flow your line needs, and confirm the choice against the published flow curves before ordering. This unit already carries the finer 5 um element (code W) instead of the standard 40 um grade, a manual drain (code M) that you vent by hand rather than relying on a differential-pressure or automatic drain, a square MPa gauge, and a reverse/check valve (code K). The thread here is NPT; PT is the catalogue standard and G (BSPP) is also available to order. A mounting bracket is included. If you need a different drain type, gauge scale (psi or bar), or an external round gauge instead of the embedded square one, those are decodable options in the same series - tell us and we will confirm the right code.
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 number, so we do not quote a l/min, m3/h or SCFM figure. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant flow and datasheet figures for the GFR400-10 on request before you order.
The M in the code means the polycarbonate bowl is drained by hand, which suits lines with a scheduled maintenance routine. The same GFR400 body is available with an automatic drain (code A) or the default differential-pressure drain - just ask and we will confirm the correct model code.
