AirTAC Air Preparation Units (F.R.L.)
AirTAC's full air-preparation family: 12 series and 7324 part numbers, from single filters to three-unit F.R.L. combinations, in 1/8 to 1 inch ports across the economy G and higher-spec GA lines.

This is the entry point to AirTAC's complete air-preparation family: 12 current series and 7324 published part numbers, organised by function and by line. Filtering only: GF (266 parts, G line) and GAF (211 parts, GA line). Pressure control only: GR (405 parts), GAR (149 parts) and the compact AR1500/AR2000 regulator line (23 parts). Lubrication only: GL (67 parts, G line). Filtering plus pressure control in one body: GFR (1482 parts) and its GA-line counterpart GAFR (1394 parts). Two-unit sets of filter regulator plus lubricator: GFC (875 parts) and GAFC (803 parts). Three-unit F.R.L. combinations: GC (849 parts) and GAC (800 parts).
Two lines run through the family. The economy G line is built in four bodies with 1/8 to 1 inch ports; the higher-specification GA line has five bodies over the same port span, so a GA series can sit between two G sizes where the flow demands it. Where a specification is specific to one series: the GR regulator holds downstream pressure across a 0.05-0.9 MPa setting range and is rated for -20 to +70 C. That temperature figure belongs to the regulator; for the operating limits of the filter, lubricator and combination units, confirm from the datasheet.
The decision buyers most often get wrong is the number of bodies. GFR and GAFR do filtering and pressure control in one body: shortest assembly, one part to stock, but the two stages are not serviceable independently. GFC and GAFC add a lubricator, making two bodies. GC and GAC give a separate filter, regulator and lubricator on one bracket - the longest assembly, but every stage is individually serviceable. One more point matters at design time: a lubricator sends oil mist down the whole downstream line, so any branch that must stay oil-free should tee off before the lubricator, or run a filter regulator instead of a full F.R.L.

Typical Applications
Plant air inlet conditioning
A GC or GAC three-unit F.R.L. on the inlet of a CNC machine or assembly cell spins out condensate, traps particles, holds regulated pressure and, where tools need it, meters oil mist - with each of the three stages serviceable without disturbing the others.
Pneumatic press and clamp circuits
Where a clamp or press actuator needs clean air and steady pressure but no lubrication, a GFR or GAFR filter regulator delivers both functions in one body - saving panel space and a stock line compared with separate filter and regulator units.
Oil-free packaging and food lines
On branches where oil mist would contaminate product or foul sensors, run a GF or GAF filter with a regulator and no lubricator. Where a lubricator exists elsewhere on the header, tee the oil-free branch off before it.
Air-tool and workshop supply
Impact wrenches, ratchets and spray guns built for lubricated air suit a GFC two-unit set: filter regulator plus lubricator in two bodies instead of three, with the lubricator feeding only the tool outlets.
How to Choose the Right Model
Choose by function first: cleaning only (GF/GAF), pressure control only (GR/GAR/AR), lubrication only (GL), cleaning plus pressure control in one body (GFR/GAFR), the full set as a two-unit GFC/GAFC or a three-unit GC/GAC. Decide the lubricator honestly: if nothing downstream is built for lubricated air, a filter regulator is the cleaner choice. Then pick the line - economy G, or higher-specification GA when the fifth body size helps - and size the body to peak flow, not just to the pipe. Drain type, filtering grade, gauge, thread and bracket are option codes inside each series code; the series page carries the option detail.
Before ordering, confirm the five-point match: function, line (G or GA), port size within 1/8 to 1 inch, the option codes (drain, element grade, gauge, thread, bracket), and mounting - including the L-shape bracket offered with GAC. Downstream, the conditioned air feeds AirTAC solenoid valves and cylinders; pressure gauges and fittings sit under cylinder accessories. If a datasheet value such as rated flow or bowl capacity is decisive for your build, send us the full part number and we confirm it from the datasheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Twelve current series and 7324 published part numbers, all spanning 1/8 to 1 inch ports. The economy G line is built in four body sizes per function; the higher-specification GA line has five, so a GA unit can fill the gap between two G sizes. The GR regulator covers a 0.05-0.9 MPa setting range and is rated for -20 to +70 C.
All three deliver clean, regulated air. GFR is one body doing filter plus regulator: shortest assembly and one part to stock, but the two stages are not independently serviceable. GFC adds a lubricator for two bodies. GC is a separate filter, regulator and lubricator on one bracket - three bodies, with every stage replaceable on its own. Choose by service access and available space, not by assuming more units is simply better.
Only if something downstream is built for lubricated air - many air tools and some legacy actuators are; most modern valves and cylinders run better dry. Oil mist travels the whole downstream line, so any branch that must stay oil-free should tee off before the lubricator, or run a filter regulator such as GFR instead of a full F.R.L.
