The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008LWK 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).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic setups, this GAC20008LWK assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port pairs with a 5 um element to capture fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. Because the build order places the lubricator last, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling of the pressure-control mechanism.
Operating in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), this unit is tailored for low-force actuation rather than general factory supply. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil capacity define a compact 750 g footprint suited for single actuators. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread, and the assembly includes a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol.

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 low-pressure cylinders placing delicate electronic components where a 5 um element protects tiny nozzle clearances.
Conditions air for benchtop fluid dispensers operating under 0.4 MPa, ensuring consistent droplet formation without particulate contamination.
Regulates low-tension air jets guiding fine threads, using the fitted gauge to dial exact downstream pressure within the 20-58 psi range.
Choose this 1/4in body when feeding a single small-bore cylinder or a precision jig, as its catalogue flow curve is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The 5 um element traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, ideal for instrument air, though it requires more frequent element service. The semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted, emptying the 25 cc bowl on each pressure drop or on demand. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 modules are separately orderable. Keep in mind the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa limit, so never specify this L-type if the machine might later need higher pressure.
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 lower-pressure unit regulates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). It shares a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum pressure and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure across the range. Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, using ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, and the assembly weighs 750 g.
The W indicates a 5 um filtering element instead of the standard 40 um, trapping finer particles for sensitive duties. The K signifies that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue details on its own page as a separate pneumatic symbol.
