Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALWK 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 GAC20008ALWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatics, this GAC200 unit integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves. Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is added downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, while the automatic drain clears condensate without an operator.
The lower-pressure type restricts the operating range to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). This assembly includes a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page. Weighing 750 g, the unit carries a 25 cc condensate bowl and a 36 cc oil reservoir. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead.

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 GAC20008ALWK Is Used
Precision Valve Lines
Feeds clean, finely filtered 5 um air to sensitive solenoid valves in small pneumatic logic panels where particulates would cause sticking.
Benchtop Tooling
Supplies regulated, lubricated air at low pressure to light-duty benchtop grinders or small drills, extending spindle life via downstream oil mist.
Lab Automation
Conditions air for compact laboratory actuators requiring a strict 0.15-0.4 MPa operating window and automatic condensate removal during unattended tests.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this assembly for light-duty circuits needing fine filtration and low pressure. The 5 um element catches far finer particulates than the standard 40 um grade, suiting instrument air or sensitive valves, though it requires more frequent element service. The automatic drain is decisive for unattended or wet lines, emptying the 25 cc bowl without manual intervention. For maintenance, the individual units are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08, so a clogged element never means replacing the whole bracket. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC200 is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is roughly 58% of the GAC300's 3000 L/min envelope, making it better for single actuators than multi-station headers. Finally, the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the Standard type's 0.9 MPa maximum, so confirm your machine will never need higher pressure before specifying this L type.
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.
