The AirTAC GFR400-15MLJC3T AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT1/2 Low-Pressure 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 GFR400-15MLJC3T is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and holds downstream pressure at a set point, in one body. This size 400 unit has a 1/2 in NPT port, a polycarbonate bowl with manual drain, a 40 um filter element and the low-pressure regulator type. It includes an external round gauge scaled in bar and no mounting bracket.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in, drain choices (differential-pressure, automatic or manual), 40 um or 5 um filtration, and gauge and thread options. Rated 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 the figures from the datasheet for your application.

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.
| GFR400 | G-series filter regulator, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| J | Supplied without bracket. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| 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. |
| (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.

Air prep for a low-pressure clamping circuit on a machining fixture, where the regulator holds a reduced set point downstream of the compressor ring main and the 40 um element strips water and swarf before the clamp cylinders.
Filtering and regulating air to cylinders and actuators on a packaging line, with the manual drain bowl emptied during scheduled changeover so condensate never carries through to the machines.
Conditioning air for guide rollers and low-pressure jets on textile machinery, where moisture and particulate must be removed and pressure held at a reduced set point before the air reaches the moving assemblies.
Size 400 with a 1/2 in NPT port suits lines needing more capacity than the 200/300 sizes; step up or down by port and required flow. The manual drain means the bowl is emptied by hand at intervals, unlike the automatic or differential-pressure options. The 40 um element is the standard grade; specify W for 5 um when finer filtration is needed. This is the low-pressure regulator type, so confirm its adjustment range against your set point before ordering - the exact range is not published here. The round gauge is scaled in bar; square gauges and MPa or psi scales are options, and PT or G threads can be ordered instead of NPT. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so 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 GFR series as curves, not a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your line pressure, set point and downstream demand and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet on request.
The M in the code selects the manual drain: the bowl is emptied by opening the drain by hand at intervals. It suits installations that are visited regularly. If the unit is hard to reach, the automatic or differential-pressure drain options are the alternatives on this family.
