Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK
The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK 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).

About the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK
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 GFC400C15AC1WK 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, an external round pressure gauge on an MPa scale, and a reverse-flow check valve fitted (the K suffix). 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.
Size Class & How It Differs From GC
- GFC200PT1/8" - PT1/4"
- GFC300PT1/4" - PT1/2"
- GFC400PT3/8" - PT1/2"
- GFC600PT3/4" - PT1"
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.

Where the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK Is Used
Tablet press and pharma packaging air
Delivering finer 5 um filtered, regulated air to tablet-press ancillaries and blister-packaging actuators in a pharmaceutical packaging hall, with the check valve fitted on the treated-air leg.
Laboratory automation valves
Conditioning the air for solenoid valves and small actuators on lab automation benches, where the 5 um element and stable regulated pressure protect the pilot stages of the valve manifold.
Optical inspection stations
Supplying treated air to the air bearings, part-clamps and ejection cylinders of an inline optical inspection station, with the lubricator limited to the pneumatic motion components as required.
Is the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK the Right Set?
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. This version combines the W (5 um fine element) and K (reverse/check valve fitted) suffixes; drop either letter for the 40 um element or the non-check-valve build. Drain is automatic here; 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 on this version. 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
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (See datasheet here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain sets the regulating band
- ✓ Gauge fitted, shape and scale
- ✓ Two-unit (GFC) or three-unit (GC) layout
- ✓ Oil mist acceptable downstream
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter regulator first, lubricator last.
- check Mount vertically, bowls down.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Adjust only within 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills; check the oil level.
- check Keep the set above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
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 B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15AC1WK FAQ
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.
PT is the standard thread on this 400 size, so the port designation is PT1/2 (1/2 in). G (BSPP) and NPT are catalogue thread options you can order on the same set - this is a specification choice, not a stock or delivery matter. Ask us to quote the thread variant you need.
