The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010LC1W 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 differential-pressure drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
GFC40010LC1W is a two-piece AirTAC G-series air-treatment set: a 400-size filter-regulator plus a lubricator, providing filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication through one 3/8 in (PT) connection. The L code marks the low-pressure regulator type; this unit also carries a 5 um filter element, a differential-pressure drain on the filter bowl and an external round pressure gauge reading in MPa.
It is a genuine AirTAC part. The G-series runs in 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with 1/8 to 1 in ports, PC (polycarbonate) bowls on the 200-400 sizes and aluminium alloy bowls at 600, a maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a -5 to 70 C temperature range on compressed air. Flow is published as curves rather than one rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet and sizing figures 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. 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.

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.

Prepared air for the cylinders and actuators of a laboratory or pilot-line test rig, where the low-pressure regulator type and 5 um element suit circuits run at modest set pressures.
Filter-regulated, lubricated air for the nip and tension rollers of a web printing press, with the round MPa gauge letting the operator verify the set point at a glance.
Air treatment ahead of the low-pressure jet and manifold valves on a textile finishing machine, where clean, oiled air at a stable low set point keeps the nozzles working.
Size 400 with a 3/8 in PT port is the mid-range G-series step: move to 600 or 300/200 according to the flow your circuit demands, judged from the published curve rather than a single rating. With the differential-pressure drain the regulator adjusts over 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the L code selects the low-pressure regulator type for circuits set well below the top of that range. The 5 um element is the finer filtration choice against the 40 um standard. The gauge is the external round type on an MPa scale; embedded square gauges and psi or bar scales are orderable, and PT is the standard thread with G (BSPP) and NPT as options.
Flow figures are published as curves, not a single rated number, so share your flow and pressure requirements 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 a single rated figure, so no single number is quoted here. Send us your required flow and working pressure and we will confirm the right size against the datasheet on request before you order.
L selects the low-pressure regulator type within the G-series, intended for circuits set below the top of the standard range. Decoding the rest: 400 is the size, 10 is the 3/8 in port, C1 is the external round MPa gauge and W is the 5 um filter element.
