The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010ALC1W 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 PT3/8" ports, a 5 µm element, a automatic drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
GFC40010ALC1W is a two-unit AirTAC G-series air-treatment set: a filter-regulator plus a lubricator, filtering water and particulate from the compressed air, regulating downstream pressure and adding oil mist for tools and actuators. This 400-size set takes a PT3/8 port, has an automatic drain on the filter bowl, the 5 um (W) element for finer filtration than the standard 40 um, a round external pressure gauge with MPa scale, and the L low-pressure type regulator. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); working temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. The 400-size bowls are polycarbonate.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The same set is available with the standard 40 um element as GFC40010ALC1, and the G-series spans 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with 1/8 to 1 inch ports, manual, automatic or differential-pressure drains, standard or low-pressure regulator types, round or square gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, and G (BSPP) or NPT thread options beside the standard PT. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing figures from the datasheet 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. The low-pressure type adjusts over a lower band than standard; we confirm the exact figures from the factory datasheet. 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.

|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". 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) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |

| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |

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: GFR400-10 filter regulator and GL400-10 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.

Conditions the air feeding benchtop lab automation and small test-rig actuators, where the 5 um element and a low regulated setting suit sensitive downstream equipment and the lubricator protects the cylinders.
Feeds the squeegee and lift cylinders on a screen printing line: filtered air protects the valve stack, a steady regulated pressure keeps print pressure repeatable, and oil mist conditions the actuators.
Serves a serviced assembly bench running air screwdrivers and riveters, with the automatic drain keeping the bowl clear and the lubricator misting the tools through the shift.
Pick the size between 200, 300, 400 and 600 against your port and air demand; this 400 with a 3/8 inch port fits mid-size supply runs. Decide the regulator type: this L code is the low-pressure type, the blank code the standard version. The automatic drain here suits unattended points; manual and differential-pressure drains are the alternatives. This W code carries the 5 um element; choose it for finer duty such as finishing work, or order the standard 40 um version where general supply filtration is enough. The round MPa gauge is ordered as coded; the embedded square gauge and psi or bar scales are the other gauge choices, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads are order options beside the standard PT. G-series flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so send us your flow requirement and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet before you order.
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 GFR400-10 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as curves rather than one rated figure, so there is no single number to quote. Tell us your line pressure and the flow your application needs and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet on request before you order.
The standard GFC filter element is 40 um; the W in this code orders the 5 um element. Specify W for finer duties such as spray finishing, lab equipment or air feeding sensitive components, and the standard 40 um version where general supply filtration is enough. Element grade, drain type and gauge can be mixed freely across the G-series.
