The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1W 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 See datasheet ports, a 40 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The GFC family is a two-piece air treatment set: a filter-regulator in one body plus a separate lubricator, so the compressed air is filtered and regulated in the first stage and receives oil mist for downstream tools and cylinders from the second. This GFC400C15AC1W is the 400 size with PT1/2 ports on standard PT thread, an automatic drain on the filter bowl, the fine 5 um (W) filter element instead of the standard 40 um, and an external round pressure gauge on an MPa scale. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the regulator on this automatic-drain version adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
It is a genuine AirTAC part, available across four sizes (200/300/400/600) with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch and G (BSPP) or NPT thread options. On the 400 size both bowls are polycarbonate, and operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Flow data is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm figures from the datasheet for your application.

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). 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-C1 filter regulator and GL400-C1 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.

Filtering the air feeding spray guns in a finishing booth down to 5 um, with regulation holding the atomising pressure and the lubricator serving only the booth's air-driven equipment as designed.
Supplying cleaner 5 um air to pneumatic instrumentation and I/P panels on a process skid, where the round MPa gauge gives a clear local reading at the panel.
Conditioning the air for sealing cylinders and vacuum circuits on a tray-sealer line, with the finer element helping protect the machine's pilot valves from fine particulate.
Size 400 is a mid-to-large step in the G series: choose it when demand through 1/2 in ports is beyond what the 300 size passes comfortably, and step to 600 for higher flow. The W suffix here selects the 5 um element over the standard 40 um grade, the right choice when downstream valves and instruments need finer filtration; drop the W for the standard element. Drain is automatic on this version; differential-pressure is the default and manual (M) is also offered, with the manual-drain regulator range at 0.05-0.9 MPa versus 0.15-0.9 MPa here. The round MPa gauge can be specified in psi or bar scales, and PT is the standard thread with G and NPT as orderable options.
Flow is published as curves, not a single rated figure, so please ask us to confirm sizing against your application 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 GFR400-C1 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as curves across the pressure range rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number here. Send us your operating pressure and air demand and we will confirm the correct sizing from the datasheet before you order.
The 40 um element is the standard grade for general plant air. The 5 um W grade on this version is the finer option, suited when downstream valves, instruments or processes need cleaner air. It is a decodable option on this same set: remove the W suffix for the standard 40 um element.
