The AirTAC GFR40015JF3WT 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 differential-pressure 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 GFR40015JF3WT is a size-400 filter regulator that removes water and particulate from compressed air and regulates downstream pressure in a single body. This configuration is fitted with a 1/2 in NPT port, a 5 um filter element (code W) for finer filtration than the 40 um standard, a differential-pressure drain that bleeds condensate automatically as flow passes through, an embedded square gauge reading in bar, and no mounting bracket. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the standard regulator adjusts from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the operating temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The polycarbonate bowl suits the 400 size; only the 600 size uses an aluminium alloy bowl.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFR filter-regulator line is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale options, PT, G or NPT threads, and bracket options. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing figures 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 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 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.

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.

Feeding clean, regulated air to tool-clamp and pallet-change actuators on a machining centre, where the 5 um element protects tight-tolerance valves from water and fine particles.
Conditioning the air feeding pneumatic sealing heads and case-erecting cylinders on a carton packaging line, with the differential-pressure drain handling condensate through continuous production shifts.
Supplying regulated air to gripper and vacuum-generator circuits on a robotic handling cell, with the bar-scale square gauge letting technicians verify set pressure at the cell.
Choose the 400 size with its 1/2 in port when your line's flow demand sits above what a 300 can carry; because flow is published as curves, ask us to confirm the right size against your application before ordering. This unit already carries the finer 5 um element (the 40 um standard is available as an alternative) and the differential-pressure drain, which needs no manual attention; a manual-drain version widens the regulation range down to 0.05 MPa if you need it. The square gauge reads in bar; MPa and psi scales are options, and an external round gauge can be ordered. PT is the standard thread, with G and NPT as catalogue options - this code is the NPT version. A mounting bracket is optional; this configuration omits it.
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 this series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so no single number would be honest. Tell us your line's air demand and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
The W in the code specifies the 5 um element, one grade finer than the 40 um standard, for applications where finer particulate and water removal matter. The blank drain position is the differential-pressure drain, which passes condensate automatically with flow and needs no daily manual draining.
