The AirTAC GFR400-15MLC3T 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 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 GFR400-15MLC3T is a filter regulator: one body that removes water and particulate from compressed air and then regulates downstream pressure. This size 400 unit is built with a 1/2 in NPT port, a manual drain bowl in polycarbonate, a 40 um standard filter element, and the low-pressure regulator type for circuits that run at reduced set pressures. A round pressure gauge with a bar scale is fitted, and the mounting bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR series spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and options including automatic or manual drains, a 5 um element (code W), G or NPT thread, and different gauge scales. We confirm flow and other datasheet figures on request, since flow is published as curves rather than a single rating.

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". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

Filtering and regulating the air feeding a low-pressure clamping circuit on a stamping press, with the bar gauge giving the operator a direct set-pressure readout.
Conditioning the air that drives pick-and-place cylinders and grippers on a carton packaging line, where the manual drain suits a station checked each shift.
Supplying clean, regulated air at reduced pressure to lab automation and sample-handling equipment, with the 40 um element catching water and particulate ahead of sensitive valves.
Size 400 with a 1/2 in port sits in the upper half of the GFR range; step up to size 600 or down to 300 depending on the flow your line needs. The manual drain here means an operator opens the bowl drain during checks - choose the automatic drain variant if the unit is hard to reach. The 40 um element is the standard grade; specify W for the 5 um element where finer filtration is required. This is the low-pressure regulator type, suited to circuits set well below full line pressure; ask us for its exact adjustment range. Thread is NPT here, while PT is the standard and G is also an order option.
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. 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 curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Ask us and we will confirm the flow data from the datasheet against your application before you order.
The M in the code selects a manual drain: moisture collected in the bowl is released by hand during routine checks, which suits stations visited regularly. The L code marks the low-pressure regulator type, intended for circuits set below full line pressure - contact us for its exact adjustment range.
