The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC30010LW 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 3/8" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic systems, this AirTAC GAC30010LW combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/8in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves. Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling of the pressure-control mechanism.
This lower-pressure type regulates between 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it suitable for sensitive actuators rather than high-force cylinders. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, so operators can verify the setpoint at a glance. The unit carries a 1300 g mass and uses a 60 cc condensate bowl paired with a 98 cc oil reservoir to set the maintenance interval.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF300-10 filter, GAR300-10 regulator, GAL300-10 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 air to sensitive analytical instruments and fluid dispensing heads that require a stable 0.4 MPa maximum supply.
Conditions air for delicate tensioning cylinders and guide actuators, using the 5 um element to protect fine internal clearances from grit.
Supplies metered oil mist and regulated pressure to lightweight pick-and-place grippers that cannot tolerate full 0.9 MPa shop line pressure.
Choose this 3/8in body when a machine requires very fine 5 um filtration and a low-pressure ceiling of 0.4 MPa, stepping up from the GAC200 which offers a 1750 L/min flow envelope plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet compared to this body's 3000 L/min curve. The PC bowl is standard, and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair requires an operator to cycle the valve or rely on the pressure-drop release. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. The constituent parts are separately orderable as GAF300-10, GAR300-10 and GAL300-10. Note that 0.4 MPa is 44% of the 0.9 MPa ceiling offered by the standard type, so select this L-type only if the application will never demand 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) against a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, weighs 1300 g, and pairs a 60 cc drain bowl with a 98 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The W code specifies a 5 um element, which traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it ideal for precision valves. The L type code limits the regulation ceiling to 0.4 MPa, ensuring the unit cannot accidentally over-pressurize delicate downstream actuators.
