The AirTAC GFR400-10 AirTAC Filter Regulator PT3/8 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 size-400 filter regulator that removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration has a PT3/8 (3/8 in) port, a 40 um standard filter element, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, and a round external pressure gauge reading in psi. A reverse (check) valve is fitted, and the unit is supplied without a mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) filtration, gauge and scale options, and G or NPT thread variants to order. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm flow and 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. 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. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |

| C | Gauge shape: Round. 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. |
| (blank) | PT 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 cylinders and grippers on a packaging line, with the automatic drain keeping condensate out of the bowl during continuous shifts.
Regulating supply pressure to conveyor stoppers, lifts and divertor cylinders so actuation speeds stay consistent along the line.
Installed at an individual machine or workbench take-off on a plant air ring main, filtering the supply and setting the pressure the tool or fixture needs.
Size 400 with a PT3/8 port suits lines running higher air demand than the 200/300 steps; step up or down by port size against the flow your circuit needs, and ask us to confirm the flow curve for the exact size before ordering. The automatic drain on this unit suits unattended duty; choose manual drain for controlled, periodic blowdown or differential-pressure drain as the default. The 40 um element is the standard grade for general air preparation; specify 5 um (code W) only where finer particulate removal is required. The round gauge reads in psi; embedded square gauges and MPa or bar scales are alternatives. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT available as order options, and a mounting bracket can be added if this no-bracket configuration needs one.
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 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 figures from the datasheet on request before you order.
The A in the code sets the automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate by itself instead of waiting for a manual blowdown - useful on runs that operate unattended. The K sets a reverse (check) valve, which holds downstream pressure if the upstream supply is interrupted. Both are decodable choices: manual or differential-pressure drains, and no check valve, are available in other GFR configurations.
