Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW 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).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for compact pneumatics, this GAC20008ALW combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port serves smaller actuators, while the 5 um element captures fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. Because the lubricator sits downstream of the regulator, oil mist never fouls the pressure seat.
This lower-pressure type restricts the operating band to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it unsuitable for any system that might later require higher force. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without operator intervention, and the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread. At 750 g, the assembly needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support.

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.

Where the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW Is Used
Micro-Assembly Jigs
Feeds low-pressure actuators handling delicate electronics where a 5 um element protects tiny precision nozzles from clogging.
Laboratory Pneumatics
Conditions air for benchtop fluid dispensing systems requiring stable 0.4 MPa outputs and automatic condensate removal.
Small Air Tools
Supplies metered oil mist to miniature air grinders in a clean workbench environment without manual bowl draining.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 1/4in unit when your circuit demands very fine 5 um filtration and a strict sub-0.4 MPa ceiling. If a machine ever needs standard 0.9 MPa pressure, this lower-pressure type is the wrong part. The PC bowl handles standard -5 to 70 C environments, but buyers should confirm material compatibility for aggressive solvents. The automatic drain suits unattended or wet lines, whereas the default blank drain offers semi-auto and manual operation. Note that oil mist is added downstream; choose a separate filter-regulator if the line must stay oil-free. For maintenance, the assembly accepts GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 replacement units. Stepping up to the GAC300 body shifts the flow envelope from 1750 L/min to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but selecting the L type here means your ceiling is just 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa maximum.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Thread & gauge scale (PT / G / NPT)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter first, lubricator last.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Fill the oil bowl with ISO VG 32 or equivalent only.
- check Drain condensate before the 25 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 750 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
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.
Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALW FAQ
This lower-pressure F.R.L. combination operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It features a 25 cc drain bowl, a 36 cc oil bowl, and weighs 750 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The 5 um element traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, protecting precision valves but requiring more frequent element service. The automatic drain actively clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without an operator, which is decisive for unattended or wet lines.
