The AirTAC GFR40015ALF3T 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 GFR40015ALF3T is a filter regulator: it removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This 400-size unit is fitted with a 1/2 in NPT port, an automatic drain that expels collected condensate without manual attention, a 40 um standard filter element, and an embedded square gauge scaled in bar. It is the low-pressure type, and a mounting bracket is included. The polycarbonate bowl lets you see the condensate level at a glance.
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, a 5 um optional element, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm the datasheet figures for your application before ordering.

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. |

| F | Gauge shape: Square. 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. |

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 filtered, regulated air to the clamp cylinders on a CNC machining cell, with the automatic drain clearing condensate between cycles so no one has to bleed the bowl by hand.
Supplies the low-pressure air knives that clear dust and crumbs from cartons travelling along a food-packaging conveyor, keeping the air dry and the setting stable.
Mounted on the distribution header of a plant air system, it filters the main supply and holds a reduced, steady pressure for the downstream drop lines serving the shop floor.
Choose the size step (200/300/400/600) against the port and the flow your line needs - this 400 unit carries a 1/2 in NPT port. If you cannot visit the drain regularly, the automatic drain fitted here is the right choice; manual and differential-pressure drains are available on other codes. The 40 um element suits general pneumatic supply; specify the W code for 5 um where finer filtration is needed. The square gauge here reads in bar; MPa and psi scales are alternatives, and an external round gauge is optional. Thread is NPT on this code; PT (standard) and G are order options. A bracket is included.
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 flow for the GFR series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number. Tell us your line pressure and the flow your application needs and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
The A in the code fits an automatic drain, which expels collected condensate on its own - useful where the unit is mounted out of reach. Manual and differential-pressure drains are available on other GFR codes if you prefer a different arrangement.
