The AirTAC GFR400-15MJF3WT AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT1/2, 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 manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi). It does not lubricate — add a GL lubricator, or order the GFC two-unit set, if downstream equipment needs oil.
The AirTAC GFR400-15MJF3WT is a size 400 filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in one body. This configuration has a 1/2 in NPT port, a 5 um filter element (finer than the standard 40 um), a manual drain on the bowl, and a fitted embedded square gauge scaled in bar. The standard regulator covers 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) adjustment, and maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 to 1 in, a choice of drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale options and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

|---|---|
| 15 | Port size PT1/2". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 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. |
| (blank) | No reverse-flow valve (the default). |
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 clean, regulated air to the tool-change cylinders and pneumatic clamps on a machining centre, with the 5 um element guarding the machine's directional valves.
Sits at the drop of a packaging conveyor's air header, filtering condensate from the supply and holding a set pressure for the case-erecting and sealing cylinders.
Installed at the air drop serving an assembly cell, it conditions the supply and lets operators set and read the working pressure on the bar-scaled square gauge.
Size 400 with a 1/2 in port suits lines running higher air demand; step up to 600 or down to 300 depending on the flow your circuit needs. The 5 um element (code W) is the right choice where finer particulate protection matters, such as downstream valves and instruments; the standard grade is 40 um. The manual drain means an operator opens the bowl drain periodically - choose automatic or differential-pressure drain codes if you prefer unattended draining. The square gauge is scaled in bar; MPa and psi scales and an external round gauge are alternatives. This unit ships as a specification with NPT thread; PT is the standard thread and G is the other order option. No mounting bracket is included with the J code. Because flow is published as curves and not a single rating, 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 GFR flow as performance curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow, Cv or SCFM number. Tell us your application and we will confirm the datasheet and check the sizing against your required flow on request.
The M in the code specifies a manual drain: the bowl is emptied by opening the drain when needed, which suits attended installations. If you want unattended draining, the same size 400 filter regulator is available with automatic (A) or differential-pressure (blank) drain codes - ask us for those variants.
