The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC60020MC1W 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 manual drain and regulation over 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The GFC is AirTAC's two-unit air preparation set: a filter regulator paired with a lubricator, so one order covers filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication. This 600-size unit carries PT3/4 ports, a manual drain on the filter bowl, a fine 5 um filter element, and a round external gauge scaled in MPa. With the 600 frame, the filter-section bowl is aluminium alloy.
This is a genuine AirTAC part, rated for compressed air at up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) inlet and -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). With the manual drain fitted, the regulator adjusts from 0.05 to 0.9 MPa (7-130 psi). The G-series is also offered in 200, 300 and 400 sizes with a choice of drain types, 40 um or 5 um elements, and PT, G or NPT threads. Flow figures are published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

At a spray-booth drop, the set filters fine moisture and particulate out of the air, sets a stable atomising pressure, and meters oil mist to the spray gun's air motor. The 5 um element and PT3/4 port suit a dedicated booth supply line.
On a machining centre's hydraulic-free clamping circuit, the unit conditions the shop air, holds the regulated clamp pressure via the gauge, and lubricates the swing-cylinder actuator over thousands of cycles per shift.
Carton taping and case-sealing machines run air cylinders continuously; this two-unit set conditions the 3/4-inch header supply, keeps the regulator set for consistent flap folding, and keeps oil mist in the cylinders.
The 600 size with its 3/4-inch port is the natural step when your line runs larger cylinders or higher air demand than a 300 or 400 unit can carry; compare sizes against the flow curves before you fix the frame. The manual drain here means someone bleeds the bowl on a routine - choose the automatic drain instead for inaccessible installs, or the differential-pressure default for balanced day-to-day service. The 5 um element in this code is the finer option; the 40 um standard element suits coarser general plant air. The round MPa gauge is external and easy to read; square-gauge and psi/bar scale versions exist in the catalogue. PT thread is standard here, with G (BSPP) and NPT available to order. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating - 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 G series as performance curves, not as a single rated number, so there is no one figure we can honestly quote. Tell us your working pressure and air demand and we will confirm the correct size from the datasheet on request.
The M in the code specifies a manual drain: the bowl is emptied by hand on a routine. AirTAC also offers the automatic drain (A) and the differential-pressure drain (the default) on the same 600 frame, so you can pick the drain style that matches how the unit is accessed in service.
