The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC400C15NWK 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 series is a two-unit air-preparation set: a filter-regulator plus a separate lubricator, so filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication are covered in one order. This configuration is the GFC400 size with a PT1/2 port, a 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard, the differential-pressure drain (the series default) on the filter bowl, a standard-pressure regulator supplied without a gauge, and a reverse (check) valve fitted. At this 400 size the bowls are polycarbonate (PC).
It is a genuine AirTAC part, rated for compressed air at up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) inlet and -5 to 70 C. The G series runs in 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes, with PT as the standard thread and G (BSPP) or NPT as catalogue options, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um elements, and gauges with MPa, psi or bar scales. AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the datasheet figures for your line 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.

Feeding the 1/2 inch air drops on a bottling line: water is drained from the compressed air, pressure is held at the set point for the filler and capper cylinders, and the lubricator mists oil to the air cylinders.
Preparation for the diverters and stops on a packaging conveyor: the 5 um element protects the directional valves, the regulator holds a steady setting, and the check valve keeps the circuit pressurized during brief supply dips.
Air preparation for the clamping and tool-change cylinders on a CNC machining centre, where the lubricator keeps cylinder seals moving smoothly and the filter-regulator holds the clamp pressure the fixture was set up with.
The 400 size with its 1/2 inch port is the mid step of the range: step up to the 600 size with a 1 inch port for larger machine inlets, or down to 300 or 200 for smaller drops. The W in the code selects the 5 um element, the choice for circuits with finer contamination downstream; the regulator with this differential-pressure drain adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). If you want to read pressure at the unit, the same set is ordered with a square or round gauge in MPa, psi or bar, and the thread can be specified as PT (standard), G (BSPP) or NPT. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so 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 flow for the G series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote here. Tell us your working pressure and the equipment on the line, and we will confirm the relevant flow figures from the datasheet before you order.
The W in the code selects the 5 um filter element; without it, GFC sets use the 40 um standard element. Choose 5 um when the downstream valves or cylinders need finer filtration. We can confirm the right grade for your application from the datasheet on request.
