The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator, NPT3/8, 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 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single size-400 body. This configuration has a NPT3/8 port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, a 40 um standard filter element, an embedded square gauge reading in MPa, and the low-pressure regulator type for circuits that run below standard line pressures. It includes a mounting bracket. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The bowl is polycarbonate (PC) at this size.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 inch, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drain, 40 um or 5 um filtration, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow figures are published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing and datasheet details 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. 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. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |

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 clamp and hold-down cylinders on an assembly fixture, cleaning the shop air of water and scale while holding a low set pressure so parts are gripped firmly without crushing.
Sits ahead of tool-changers, gates and workhead cylinders on a CNC or grinding machine, keeping condensate out of the valves and giving the operator a local pressure setting on the square gauge.
Conditions the air feeding diverters, pushers and bag-seal cylinders on a packaging or conveyor line, with the automatic drain handling condensate on runs that operate unattended.
Size and port are the first choice: this unit is size 400 with a NPT3/8 port, a step up in body and connection size from size 300. Drain type matters in use - differential-pressure is the default, automatic (this unit) suits unattended installations, and manual suits periodic checks. Filtration is 40 um standard here; specify 5 um (code W) where finer particulate removal is needed. The embedded square gauge reads in MPa, with psi and bar scales and an external round gauge available as options. Threads come as PT (standard), G or NPT - this unit is NPT. Note this is the low-pressure regulator type; confirm its adjustment range against your set pressure. Flow is published as curves, not a single rated figure, 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. 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 rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your air consumption and line details and we will confirm sizing from the datasheet on request before you order.
This GFR400-10 has an automatic drain, which expels collected condensate from the bowl without anyone opening it - useful for unattended or hard-to-reach installations. Differential-pressure (default) and manual drain versions are also available in the GFR series if you prefer a different arrangement.
