The AirTAC GFR400-15ALC3T AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT1/2 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 GFR400-15ALC3T is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This size 400 unit is built with a 1/2 in NPT port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, and the standard 40 um filter element. It is a low-pressure type regulator fitted with a round gauge scaled in bar, and the mounting bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GFR series, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of automatic, manual or differential-pressure drains, an optional 5 um element, and square or round gauges. 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. 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.

| 15 | Port size PT1/2". 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)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Mounting bracket included. |

| 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. |

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 low-pressure pneumatic press or clamping circuit, with the automatic drain handling condensate between shifts.
Conditioning supply air for conveyor diverters and packaging actuators, where the 40 um element protects valves from water and debris.
Mounted at a machine drop-leg on a plant air header, setting a stable low working pressure for the downstream tools and cylinders it serves.
Size 400 with a 1/2 in port suits lines that need more flow than the 200/300 step; step up to 600 or down to 300 based on the pipe and demand. The automatic drain on this unit suits unattended duty; a manual drain needs periodic bleeding and the differential-pressure default drains on pressure drop. The standard 40 um element covers general air prep; specify the W code for the 5 um grade where finer filtration is needed. The round gauge here reads in bar; square embedded gauges and MPa/psi scales are also options. NPT is ordered with the T code; PT is the catalogue standard and G (BSPP) is available. A bracket is included with this unit.
Because flow is published as curves and not 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. 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 GFR400 as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant datasheet flow figures on request before you order.
The A in the code selects the automatic drain, which expels collected condensate on its own instead of requiring manual bleeding. The L selects the low-pressure regulator type; its exact adjustment range is not published in the material we hold, so we confirm it on request.
