The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200N08ASW 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).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for downstream pneumatics, this AirTAC F.R.L. combination pre-assembles a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. This specific GAC200N08ASW variant features a 1/4in port, a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and a 5 um element for trapping finer particles. Because the air passes through the filter before reaching the regulator, the internal seat remains shielded from raw line debris.
The unit carries a 25 cc condensate bowl and a 36 cc oil reservoir, requiring frequent attention compared to larger frames, but its 750 g mass makes it ideal for tight panels where a unit must hang from a manifold rather than a dedicated frame. An automatic drain clears the accumulated water without an operator, while the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread. If the downstream process demands strictly dry, unlubricated air, omit the lubricator and choose a dedicated filter-regulator instead.

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, oil-misted air to sensitive solenoid valve banks where the 5 um element protects tight internal tolerances from scoring.
Conditions air for light-duty pneumatic pick-and-place tools on a workbench, benefiting from the 750 g lightweight frame for manifold mounting.
Regulates pressure for compact actuator setups in lab equipment, utilizing the automatic drain to handle condensate without manual intervention.
Choose this compact 1/4in body when feeding a single actuator or a small jig, stepping up to the GAC300 if you need a 3/8in port and a larger 60 cc drain bowl that doubles the service interval. The 5 um W element here catches far finer grit than the standard 40 um grade, making it well-suited for precision valves, though it will clog faster in dirty lines. The nylon bowl keeps the assembly light, and the fitted gauge lets technicians verify the set pressure directly. For maintenance, the individual components are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Stepping up from this body, the GAC300 flow envelope is plotted to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, roughly 1.7x the 1750 L/min envelope of the GAC200.
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 model operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, the drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, the unit weighs 750 g, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The W code in the model string designates a 5 um filtering grade rather than the default 40 um. This finer element captures microscopic solid particles, making it necessary for protecting delicate instrument air circuits or precision valves, though it will require more frequent replacement in dusty environments.
