The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASK 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for compact pneumatics, the AirTAC GAC20008ASK is a three-unit F.R.L. combination pre-plumbed on a single L-shape bracket. A 1/4in port pairs with a 750 g mass, placing it in the smallest size class where panel space is tight. The 40 um element captures solid particles, while the standard type regulates pressure across a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range.
The build order routes air through the filter, regulator and lubricator in sequence, adding oil mist downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. This specific code specifies an automatic drain that clears the 25 cc condensate bowl without an operator, a fitted circular gauge reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, and a reverse-flow (reflux) valve shown 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 a small pneumatic clamp on a benchtop machining jig, ensuring consistent force and clean lubricated air for the cylinder seals.
Conditions air for lightweight handheld grinders or screwdrivers in an electronics assembly line, protecting internal vanes from moisture.
Supplies stable pressure to compact solenoid valves controlling fluid dispensing heads in laboratory automation equipment.
Choose this assembly for single actuators or small jigs requiring unattended condensate management. The 25 cc drain bowl and 36 cc oil bowl dictate frequent checks compared to larger bodies. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a filter-regulator instead. The three units are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08, so a damaged PC bowl or clogged element does not require replacing the whole assembly. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC200 is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is roughly 29% of the GAC300's 3000 L/min envelope. Because the max supply is 1.0 MPa and the standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa, there is only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the top setting.
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 standard type operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It features a 25 cc drain bowl, a 36 cc oil bowl, a 40 um element, and weighs 750 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page. This model also includes an automatic drain and a fitted circular gauge reading MPa/psi for the PT thread.
