The AirTAC GFR400-15AF3T AirTAC Filter Regulator 1/2 in NPT 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 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 GFR400-15AF3T is a 400-size filter regulator that removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is fitted with a 1/2 in NPT port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, a 40 um standard filter element, and an embedded square gauge scaled in bar. The standard regulator covers an adjustment range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a maximum inlet pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C in non-freezing conditions.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port options from 1/8 in to 1 in, PT as the standard thread and G or NPT as order options, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, a 5 um optional element, and gauge scale choices. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm the datasheet 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 0.15 - 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.

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 filtered, regulated air to a workshop pneumatic press, where the automatic drain keeps condensate off the cylinder seals and the bar gauge gives the operator a direct setpoint readout.
Conditioning the air supply to a packaging machine's diverters and clamp actuators, with the 40 um element protecting valve internals and the regulator holding a stable working pressure across the shift.
Supplying a CNC fixture-clamping circuit, where consistent regulated pressure is needed for repeatable clamp force and the automatic drain handles moisture without operator intervention.
Size and port set the capacity envelope: the 400 size with its 1/2 in NPT port suits lines with substantial air demand, but because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, ask us to confirm sizing against your consumption before ordering. The automatic drain on this unit suits unattended or hard-to-reach installations; choose manual drain where you prefer controlled, scheduled blowdown, or differential-pressure drain where drainage should trigger on a set pressure drop. The 40 um element is the standard grade for general plant air; specify the 5 um option (code W) where finer particulate removal is needed. The square gauge here reads in bar; MPa and psi scales are also available, and an external round gauge is optional. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included.
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, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a l/min or SCFM figure. Send us your application's air consumption and working pressure and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
The automatic drain (code A) expels collected condensate by itself, which suits installations that run unattended or sit where a manual drain valve is awkward to reach. The alternatives are manual drain (code M) for scheduled blowdown and differential-pressure drain (the default) that opens on a set pressure drop across the element.
