Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008LW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008LW 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 GAC20008LW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic setups, this assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It features a 1/4in port, a 5 um element for trapping fine particles, and a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). The build routes air 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 is fitted to read the set pressure in MPa/psi, matching the default PT thread. Weighing 750 g with a 25 cc condensate bowl and a 36 cc oil reservoir, this compact body suits light-duty tasks. The unit carries a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum pressure and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, operating between -5 to 70 C using ISO VG 32 lubricant. If your downstream line must remain strictly 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 GAC20008LW Is Used
Precision Valve Lines
Feeds clean, finely filtered 5 um air to sensitive directional control valves in small pneumatic logic circuits where standard 40 um filtration is too coarse.
Benchtop Tool Stations
Conditions supply for single-actuator benchtop assemblies or light-duty power tools, adding a controlled oil mist to protect internal moving parts from wear.
Laboratory Jigs
Regulates low-pressure air down to the 0.15-0.4 MPa range for delicate clamping jigs and test fixtures that require stable, non-aggressive actuation forces.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008LW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
This model uses a PC bowl and ships with both a semi-auto and a manual drain fitted; the semi-auto dumps condensate on every pressure drop, while the manual option allows on-demand emptying. The 5 um element catches far finer particulate than the standard 40 um grade, making it ideal for precision valves, though it will require more frequent element service. For spares, the three components are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08, meaning a clogged filter or damaged bowl does not require replacing the whole assembly. Stepping up to the GAC300 body raises the plotted flow envelope to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet compared to this unit's 1750 L/min, roughly doubling the available capacity for larger duties. Because the lower pressure type tops out at 0.4 MPa, it operates at just 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa ceiling, so choose this only if the machine will never need higher pressure.
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 GAC20008LW FAQ
This lower-pressure unit regulates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, weighs 750 g, and uses a 25 cc drain bowl alongside a 36 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
The L indicates the lower 0.15-0.4 MPa pressure range, making it unsuitable for systems that might ever require more than 0.4 MPa. The W denotes a 5 um filtering element, which traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade for precision equipment but needs more frequent replacement.
