Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008L
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008L 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008L
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for light-duty pneumatics, this assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in ported body carries a 40 um element and operates in the 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) range, suiting sensitive actuators that cannot tolerate higher pressures.
Air flows through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread, while the 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil capacity dictate a frequent maintenance schedule for this 750 g unit.

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 GAC20008L Is Used
Small Pneumatic Jigs
Feeds low-pressure air to delicate positioning jigs where a 1/4in line and a 0.4 MPa ceiling protect thin-walled grippers from bursting.
Lab Automation
Conditions air for benchtop fluid dispensing robots, adding a controlled oil mist to protect tiny valve spools while maintaining a 40 um particle barrier.
Light Assembly Tools
Prepares supply for miniature air screwdrivers and low-torque wrenches, ensuring the 25 cc drain bowl catches moisture before it reaches the motor vanes.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008L the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this lower-pressure type when an application strictly caps at 0.4 MPa, but avoid it if the machine might ever require more. The PC bowl handles standard plant environments, and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair clears condensate on every pressure drop or on demand. If the downstream line must remain completely oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a dedicated filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the assembly accepts individual GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 replacement units. Stepping up to the GAC300 body increases the plotted flow envelope from 1750 to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, an increase of roughly 1.7x. Keep in mind that 0.4 MPa is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa ceiling.
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 GAC20008L FAQ
This model 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 functions between -5 to 70 C, weighs 750 g, holds 25 cc in the drain bowl and 36 cc in the oil bowl, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The L type restricts output to 0.4 MPa, making it suitable for fragile actuators or low-force clamping tasks that would be damaged by the standard 0.9 MPa setting. If your process ever demands higher force, this lower-pressure assembly is the wrong choice and you should select the S type instead.
