Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008SW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008SW 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008SW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for single actuators, the AirTAC GAC20008SW is a three-unit F.R.L. combination built around a 1/4in port. It pairs a 5 um filter, a pressure regulator and a lubricator on a single L-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. The standard type provides a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) operating range, and a circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread.
Because the 5 um element traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, this unit suits precision valves and instrument air lines, accepting more frequent element service in return. The sequence flows filter to regulator to lubricator, so oil mist is added last and never fouls the regulator seat. Condensate is managed by a semi-auto drain that dumps on each pressure drop alongside a manual drain, with a 25 cc bowl capacity setting the intervention interval for this 750 g assembly.

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 GAC20008SW Is Used
Precision Valve Lines
Feeds sensitive directional control valves in small pneumatic benches using the 5 um element to prevent sticking.
Benchtop Tooling
Conditions air for single-actuator clamping jigs where a compact 750 g assembly keeps the panel tidy.
Instrument Air
Prepares low-flow instrument air for laboratory stations, relying on the 1/4in port and fitted pressure gauge.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 750 g body for light-duty tasks, stepping up to the GAC300 if you need a larger 60 cc condensate bowl or a flow envelope plotted to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet instead of the 1750 L/min curve on this GAC200. The PC bowl, standard 0.15-0.9 MPa range and PT thread with a fitted gauge cover general pneumatic needs, while the 5 um element targets sensitive downstream components. If the line must stay oil-free, choose a filter-regulator instead because this lubricator adds oil mist downstream. For maintenance, the assembly accepts GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 replacement units. Keep in mind the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure is a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa maximum, not permission to run above it.
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 GAC20008SW FAQ
This model operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, the filtering grade is 5 um, the drain bowl is 25 cc, the oil bowl is 36 cc, the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32, and the weight is 750 g.
The W code specifies a 5 um element instead of the standard 40 um, trapping far finer particles for precision valves or instrument air at the cost of more frequent element service.
