The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200C08ALW 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 GAC200C08ALW F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves. Because the build order places the lubricator last, oil mist is added downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling during pressure control.
This lower-pressure type regulates between 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it unsuitable for machines that may ever need higher pressure. The metal bowl equips the unit for harsher industrial surroundings, while the automatic drain clears condensate without an operator. With a 25 cc drain bowl and 36 cc oil bowl, this 750 g assembly requires periodic attendance to maintain the ISO VG 32 lubricant level.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAC catalogue (pages 216-217). Air must not freeze in the unit. The fitted circular gauge reads in MPa / psi, set by the PT thread code.

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 clean, finely filtered 5 um air to sensitive solenoid valve banks operating at low pressures.
Regulates stable low-pressure air for delicate test fixtures and analytical instrument actuation.
Supplies a metered oil mist to compact air grinders and screwdrivers, extending tool life.
Choose this 1/4in port model for lighter duties where the 1750 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet is sufficient, stepping up to the GAC300 if your application approaches that limit. The 5 um element provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, ideal for instrument air, though it requires more frequent service. An automatic drain suits unattended lines, and the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. Spares share the same body-port suffix: GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Note that the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the Standard type's 0.9 MPa maximum, so confirm your machinery never requires more pressure before specifying the L type.
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 F.R.L. unit operates at 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 features a 1/4in port, a 5 um element, a metal bowl, an automatic drain, and a temperature range of -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32, and the unit weighs 750 g.
The L in the model code designates the lower-pressure type, capping regulation at 0.4 MPa (58 psi). This makes it the wrong part if a machine might ever need more pressure, but it is ideal for applications requiring delicate, stable control rather than high force.
