The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC60020AC1W 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 PT3/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a automatic drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GFC600 is a two-unit air-treatment set: a filter-regulator and a lubricator mounted together, so one installation removes water and particulate from the compressed air, holds a set downstream pressure, and adds oil mist for air tools and cylinders. This configuration is built for PT3/4 piping, drains automatically (the A in the code), carries the 5 um filter element (W) instead of the 40 um standard, and is fitted with an external round gauge scaled in MPa. The regulator is the standard type with a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) adjustment range, and at size 600 the bowls are aluminium alloy. The leading B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of GFC60020AC1W, intended for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems and some battery, electronics and chemical plants.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GFC range spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, and a choice of drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge style and scale, and PT, G or NPT threads. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing and the datasheet, together with the exact material substitutions in the copper-free build, before ordering.

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: GFR600-20 filter regulator and GL600-20 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.

Air preparation for pneumatic valves and actuators in an ammonia refrigeration plant, where copper and copper alloys are not permitted in the compressed-air line.
Feeding clean, regulated and lubricated air to pick-and-place heads and clamping cylinders on an electronics plant line that specifies copper-free components.
Supplying treated air to pneumatic tooling and process actuators in a battery plant area where the copper-prohibited build is a line requirement.
Choose the size by port and expected flow: this is size 600 with a 3/4 in PT port, the largest step in the range (ports step 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 in). Drain: this unit is automatic (A); the alternatives are manual (M) and the differential-pressure default, so pick deliberately for your duty cycle. Filter grade: this one carries the 5 um element (W) rather than the 40 um standard - choose 5 um where downstream valves and instruments need finer air. Gauge: an external round gauge scaled in MPa is fitted here; the embedded square gauge and psi or bar scales are the other catalogue options. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
The aluminium-alloy bowls on the GFC600 suit harsher environments than PC bowls. 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 GFR600-20 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GFC600 as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your line pressure, port size and expected air consumption, and we will confirm the flow and provide the datasheet for B52-GFC60020AC1W on request.
B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of GFC60020AC1W, intended for installations where copper and copper alloys are not allowed, such as ammonia systems and some battery, electronics and chemical plants. The specifications shown are shared with the base model; the exact material substitutions - and any certification question - should be confirmed with us before ordering.
