The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT3/8, Auto Drain 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 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is the size 400 unit with a 3/8 in NPT port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, the standard 40 um filter element, a round pressure gauge reading in bar, a built-in reverse (check) valve, and no mounting bracket. The polycarbonate bowl lets you see the condensate level at a glance.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 inch, manual or automatic drain, a 5 um element option, gauge scale choices and G or NPT thread variants. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet figures for your application before ordering.

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.
| 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". |
| 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. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 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.

Feeding clean, regulated air to the pneumatic cylinders and grippers on a packaging machine, with the automatic drain handling condensate through continuous shifts.
Supplying stable pressure to the air cylinders that divert, stop and index product on conveyor systems, where pressure drift would cause mis-positioning.
Conditioning shop air for bench-top test rigs and pilot-scale rigs, where the bar-reading gauge gives a clear setpoint and the check valve holds the setting if supply dips.
Start with the port step: this size 400 unit carries a 3/8 in port, so step up or down (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 inch) to match your line size and the flow your circuit needs. The automatic drain on this unit suits unattended duty; choose manual drain where you prefer controlled blowdown, or the differential-pressure default. The standard element is 40 um; specify the W code for a 5 um element where finer filtration is required. The round gauge here reads in bar; square embedded gauges and MPa or psi scales are the other options. Thread is NPT on this unit, with G (BSPP) and PT available to order, and brackets can be added if this J-coded no-bracket version does not suit your mounting.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, 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 number, so we do not quote a figure here. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant flow and datasheet figures on request before you order.
The A code in GFR40010AJC3TK means the bowl drains collected condensate automatically, which suits installations that run unattended. If you prefer to blow down the bowl yourself, the M-coded manual-drain version of the same size 400 filter regulator is available to order.
