The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALNWK is a genuine three-unit F.R.L. combination — a filter, a pressure regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic setups, this GAC200 unit integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port serves lighter duties, while the 5 um element captures fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. Because the lubricator sits downstream of the regulator, oil mist is introduced after pressure control, keeping the regulating seat clean.
This specific configuration carries an automatic drain to expel condensate from the 25 cc bowl without operator intervention. No gauge is supplied, but a 1/8in connection allows adding one if visual pressure monitoring becomes necessary. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, appearing as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF200-08 filter, GAR200-08 regulator, GAL200-08 lubricator — all three share this body and port.
Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Feeds small-bore cylinders handling delicate electronics where a 5 um element prevents grit from jamming precision moving parts.
Conditions air for benchtop test rigs operating under 0.4 MPa, using the automatic drain to handle condensate during long unattended test cycles.
Supplies low-pressure air to yarn guides and tensioning cylinders, adding a controlled oil mist to protect high-speed friction surfaces.
Choose this assembly for low-pressure circuits requiring fine filtration and unattended condensate management. The lower-pressure type restricts output to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi); if your machine might ever exceed 0.4 MPa, select a standard type instead. The PC bowl suits general industrial environments, while the 5 um element demands more frequent service than the standard 40 um grade to maintain flow. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator configuration. Replacement spares follow the body and port directly: GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Stepping up to the GAC300 increases the plotted flow envelope from 1750 to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, a 1.7x jump in sizing capacity.
Quick checklist
The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any part of the line must stay oil-free, use a filter-regulator instead of an F.R.L. combination on that branch.
This lower-pressure F.R.L. combination operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It features a 25 cc drain bowl, a 36 cc oil bowl, a 5 um element, and weighs 750 g. The unit functions from -5 to 70 C and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The letters indicate an automatic drain (A), lower-pressure type (L), no gauge (N), 5 um element (W) and a reverse-flow valve (K). Since no gauge is included, you must add one to the 1/8in port to read the set pressure. The reflux valve is shown as a distinct symbol in the catalogue.
