The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15MNW 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 GFC two-unit set combines a filter-regulator and a separate lubricator, covering filtration, regulation and oil-mist lubrication under one part number. This GFC400C15MNW is the size 400 set with a 1/2 in PT port, manual drain on the polycarbonate bowl, the fine 5 um (W) filter element, the standard regulator type and no gauge (N). Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The 5 um element is the W option of the G series - the standard grade is 40 um - and both grades are available across the 200/300/400/600 sizes. With the manual drain the regulator window is 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi). AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm flow and any other datasheet figure 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.

Feeds the actuator valves of a laboratory test rig, where the 5 um element protects sensitive pilot valves from fine particulate ahead of lubrication.
Supplies the gripper and clamp circuit of a robotic welding cell, combining fine filtration, regulated pressure and oil mist for the gripper cylinders.
Runs the eject and clamping functions on an electronics assembly line's pick-and-place heads, with 5 um filtration ahead of the solenoid valves.
The decision behind this code is filtration: 5 um where downstream valves, cylinders or instruments need finer protection than the 40 um standard element gives - note that finer filtration loads faster, so bowl checks matter more. Size 400 with the 1/2 in port is chosen against the published flow curves rather than a single rating, which we will confirm against your demand. Drain type can be differential-pressure (default), automatic (A) or manual (M, as here, with the 0.05-0.9 MPa / 7-130 psi window), a gauge can be added at order stage, and threads are PT standard with G and NPT as options.
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 figure, so no number is quoted here. Tell us your working pressure and air demand and we will confirm sizing from the datasheet before you order.
The W in this code selects the 5 um element for finer protection of downstream valves and cylinders; the standard grade is 40 um and suits general plant air. Both are the same two-unit set, so the choice is about the sensitivity of the circuit, not the port size.
