The AirTAC GFR40010MC2WTK AirTAC Filter Regulator NPT3/8 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 PT3/8" 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 series combines water and particulate filtration with pressure regulation in a single body, so one 3/8 in connection does both jobs. This configuration, GFR40010MC2WTK, is fitted with a 5 um filter element for finer cleaning than the standard 40 um grade, a manual drain for controlled bowl evacuation, an external round gauge reading in psi, and a reverse/check valve that holds downstream pressure when the upstream supply is lost. The polycarbonate bowl suits the 400 frame, a mounting bracket is included, and the standard regulator covers 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) with a maximum inlet pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR family is offered in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and with choices of drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale, thread form and bracket. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing 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 0.05 - 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.

|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". 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. |
| (blank) | Mounting bracket included. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 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. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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 clamps and pneumatic actuators on a machining centre, with the 5 um element protecting fine pilot valves from particles and water carryover.
Sits at the drop point of a packaging conveyor to condition and regulate air for diverters, pushers and bag-seal cylinders, with the check valve holding the set pressure through brief supply dips.
Conditions the instrument-air feed to a lab automation skid, where the 5 um grade and a psi gauge give the fine, readable control that sample-handling valves and actuators expect.
Size and port set the capacity: GFR400 carries a 3/8 in NPT port, and the next step up or down (300 or 600) changes both the port and the flow path, so match the frame to the air demand of the machine rather than the pipe alone. The 5 um element in this unit is the finer choice; the standard 40 um element suits general protection where finer filtration is not required. The manual drain means someone bleeds the bowl on a routine; if that is impractical, the automatic or differential-pressure drain variants remove the task. The external round gauge here reads in psi; embedded square gauges and MPa or bar scales are the other catalogue choices. Thread is NPT on this unit, with PT as the standard form and G (BSPP) available to order, and the bracket is included. 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. The reflux valve permits reverse flow through the unit. A filter regulator adds no oil to the line.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GFR400 series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Tell us your application and we will confirm the flow and sizing figures from the datasheet on request.
The M in the code selects a manual drain: the bowl is emptied by hand on a routine you set. If unattended drainage is needed, the same frame is available with an automatic or differential-pressure drain instead - just ask for the matching model code.
