The AirTAC GFR400-15 AirTAC Filter Regulator 1/2 in NPT, 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 PT1/2" 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 GFR400-15 is a size 400 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is fitted with a 5 um filter element (code W) for finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, and an external round pressure gauge scaled in MPa. A reverse/check valve is fitted, and the 1/2 in NPT port suits larger supply lines feeding demanding pneumatic equipment.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in and PT, G or NPT threads, with manual, automatic or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um elements, and gauge choices. 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 sizing or any datasheet figure 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.

| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 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. |
| 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 chip-clearing circuits of a machining centre, where the 5 um element protects close-tolerance valves from fine particulate.
Supplying regulated air to pneumatic rack-and-pinion actuators on a process skid, with the automatic drain handling condensate in an unattended installation.
Conditioning air for conveyor stopper and case-erector cylinders on a packaging line, with the check valve holding downstream pressure if the supply dips.
Size 400 with a 1/2 in port sits toward the higher-flow end of the GFR range; step up or down through sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 to match your line's port and flow requirements. This unit combines a 5 um element (choose 40 um for general-duty air) with an automatic drain - useful where condensate collection is frequent or the unit is mounted where regular manual draining is impractical; a differential-pressure drain is the default alternative. The round gauge here reads in MPa; psi and bar scales and an embedded square gauge are also available. Thread is NPT on this code, with PT as the standard and G (BSPP) orderable. No mounting bracket is included with the J suffix. 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 GFR series as performance curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated l/min, m3/h or SCFM number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
The A in the code GFR40015AJC1WTK specifies an automatic drain, which expels collected condensate on its own instead of relying on manual or differential-pressure draining. The W specifies the 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um grade, for finer protection of downstream equipment. Both are orderable choices across the GFR range.
