The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15ANW 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 AirTAC GFC400C15ANW is a two-unit air preparation set from the G series: a filter-regulator and a separate lubricator, size 400, piped PT1/2 (1/2 inch), for compressed air only. The W code specifies the optional 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard, for finer protection of downstream valves and actuators. The filter-regulator bowl removes water and particulate, the regulator holds your set downstream pressure (0.15 to 0.9 MPa / 20-130 psi adjustment on this automatic-drain version), and the lubricator meters an oil mist into the clean air. The bowl drains automatically, no pressure gauge is fitted (code N), maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) over a -5 to 70 C, non-freezing range, and the 400 size bowls are polycarbonate.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, one configuration of a family that runs from size 200 to size 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch. Catalogue options include the standard 40 um element, manual or differential-pressure drains, embedded square or external round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, reverse (check) valve versions, a low-pressure type, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads in place of the PT standard. AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet and figures for this exact model 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 0.15 - 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.

Fine 5 um air preparation for the collet-closer and chip-conveyor cylinders on a CNC lathe cell, fed from a 1/2 inch service drop with the regulator set once for the cell.
Conditions air for the high-cycle diverter and pop-up wheel actuators on a parcel sortation conveyor, with the 5 um element protecting the directional valves.
Feeds a valve island on an assembly machine: regulation for the stack plus an oil mist carried downstream to the actuators, drained automatically at the drop.
Match the 400 size and its 1/2 inch PT ports to the flow your line actually needs: stepping to size 300 or 600 changes the port and the capacity, and because AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than one rated number, send us your application and we will confirm sizing before you order. Then set the decodable choices: element grade (5 um on this W version, 40 um standard otherwise), drain type (automatic here; manual and differential-pressure are catalogue alternatives), gauge (none fitted on this N version; square or round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales are options), and thread (PT standard, with G and NPT as orderable specifications). A reverse (check) valve version is available under the K code.
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 flow for the G series as curves rather than a single rated rating, so no rated flow figure is quoted here. Share your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the flow data and the full datasheet for this exact model on request.
The 40 um element is the G series standard and suits general plant air; the W code specifies the optional 5 um element for finer protection of downstream valves and actuators. Both are catalogue options on this 400-size two-unit set.
