Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40015ALNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40015ALNW 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 1/2" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40015ALNW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC40015ALNW combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket with quick clamps. Air passes through the 5 um element before the regulator sets the downstream pressure, ensuring oil mist is added last so the regulator seat never fouls. Equipped with a 1/2in port and an automatic drain, it targets precision circuits operating in the 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) lower-pressure range.
Weighing 2390 g, the assembly integrates a 100 cc condensate bowl and a 185 cc oil reservoir. Because the type L regulator tops out at 0.4 MPa, it is purpose-built for low-force actuators rather than general plant air. No gauge is supplied, but a 1/4in connection is provided if you need to add instrumentation to monitor the set pressure.

Where the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40015ALNW Is Used
Low-Force Grippers
Feeds delicate pneumatic grippers handling electronics where actuation forces must stay below 0.4 MPa to prevent part damage.
Lab Pneumatics
Conditions air for sensitive laboratory dispensing valves that rely on a stable, low-pressure supply and 5 um particulate removal.
Film Handling
Regulates air for packaging machinery moving thin films, using the automatic drain to handle condensate in high-humidity environments.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40015ALNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this assembly when a low-pressure circuit requires fine 5 um filtration and unattended condensate management. The automatic drain clears water from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, which is critical for wet lines or remote installations. If your equipment might ever demand more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is the wrong choice and you should select a standard S type instead. Because the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream, pick a filter-regulator if the application requires strictly oil-free air. Should the element clog or a bowl crack, the individual GAF400-15, GAR400-15 and GAL400-15 components are available separately. The 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa limit, meaning you sacrifice over half the regulation range to gain precise low-pressure control.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/2" 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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 2390 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 GAC40015ALNW FAQ
This lower-pressure type unit regulates from 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 operates from -5 to 70 C, weighs 2390 g, features a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The N in the ordering code signifies no gauge is supplied from the factory. The body features a 1/4in gauge connection, allowing you to install a specific PT-thread gauge reading in MPa/psi to match your operators' preferences.
