The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC30008MC1WK is a genuine G-series two-unit air-preparation set: a filter regulator that filters and regulates in one body, coupled to a lubricator. Two bodies do the work of three, with PT1/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a manual drain and regulation over 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GFC series pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator as a two-unit set, so filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication arrive in one matched order. This GFC30008MC1WK is the size 300 set with PT1/4 ports, a manual drain on the filter-regulator bowl, the fine 5 um filter element (W suffix), an external round gauge reading in MPa, and a built-in reverse (check) valve that keeps downstream pressure when the supply side is isolated. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); with this manual-drain configuration the regulator adjusts from 0.05 to 0.9 MPa (7-130 psi); operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The bowls on this size 300 set are polycarbonate (PC).
This is a genuine AirTAC part for the US market. The GFC family comes in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in. to 1 in., configured with your choice of drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge and scale, reverse valve, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads instead of the PT standard. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated number, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet flow data 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). The set has no separate bracket code — the two units couple together with their own mounting hardware. 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, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination set. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GFR300-08 filter regulator and GL300-08 lubricator.
A GFC is two units because filtering and regulating share one body. A GC is three separate units — filter, regulator and lubricator. Both filter, regulate and lubricate; the GFC is the shorter assembly, the GC keeps the filter and regulator serviceable as separate bodies.

At pneumatic screwdriver and press stations in an assembly cell, the 5 um element protects the tool regulators' pilot stages, the set pressure holds torque-relevant air pressure steady, and the check valve keeps the tools pressurised during brief compressor changeovers.
Feeding grippers and tool changers on a robot arm through a compact point-of-use panel, the set cleans supply air to 5 um, regulates it to the gripper's set point, lubricates the actuation, and the check valve prevents pressure loss if the arm's supply line is disconnected.
On a blow-off header clearing parts before inspection, the filter-regulator delivers clean, steady regulated air to the nozzles while the lubricator section is isolated by the check valve arrangement, keeping oil mist out of the clean blow-off stream.
Size 300 with 1/4 in. PT ports is the mid-range step of the G series; work from your line's air demand and move to size 400 (1/2 in. ports) if you approach the top of the size 300 curves. This code stacks two choices: the W element filters to 5 um for fine protection of downstream valves, and the K reverse valve holds downstream pressure through upstream shutdowns - useful where a regulated circuit must stay charged. The manual drain suits installations with routine operator checks; choose the automatic-drain code otherwise. The gauge is the external round type with an MPa scale (psi scale offered). Threads are PT as standard; order G (BSPP) or NPT to match your piping. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream, so if any branch must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator or use a GFR300-08 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as curves rather than one rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow here. Give us your required flow and working pressure and we will confirm the datasheet curves for this 1/4 in., 5 um set with check valve against your application on request.
W selects the 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard, giving finer protection for sensitive downstream components. K fits a reverse (check) valve to the filter-regulator so downstream pressure is held when the upstream supply is shut off. The rest of the code - manual drain and MPa round gauge - is set by the M and C1 positions.
