The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ASN 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for mid-size pneumatics, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/8in port serves standard duties at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), passing air through a 40 um element. A nylon bowl encloses the 100 cc condensate sump and 185 cc oil reservoir.
Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat to prevent fouling. The automatic drain clears liquid without an operator, while the absence of a gauge means the set pressure cannot be read unless a 1/4in gauge is added to the port. At 2390 g, the assembly requires a rigid frame mount rather than tubing support.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAC catalogue (pages 216-217). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAC400 is 1/4" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF400-10 filter, GAR400-10 regulator, GAL400-10 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.

Feeding multiple pneumatic clamps and actuators along a 3/8in automated assembly line where consistent pressure and continuous oil mist protect moving slides.
Conditioning air for packaging machinery that relies on steady cylinder cycling, with the automatic drain handling condensate during unattended shifts.
Supplying instrument air to test fixtures where the nylon bowl offers a lightweight, non-corrosive reservoir for regulated air prep at standard pressures.
Choose this body when a smaller GAC300 with its 60 cc drain bowl would demand too frequent intervention, as the 100 cc sump here roughly doubles the service interval. The nylon bowl suits standard -5 to 70 C environments, though compatibility should be confirmed for aggressive solvents. If the machine must remain oil-free, select a filter-regulator instead of this combination. The three modules are separately orderable as GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10. Stepping up to the GAC500 expands the flow envelope from 6000 to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, an increase of about 17% for higher demand. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure provides a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa maximum, but this is not permission to run above the 1.0 MPa ceiling.
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 standard type unit regulates 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and carries a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C, weighs 2390 g, uses a 40 um element, and pairs a 100 cc drain bowl with a 185 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The N after the port indicates no gauge is supplied from the factory. To read the downstream setting, a separate 1/4in circular gauge must be fitted to the dedicated port. The default PT thread means an added gauge will read in MPa/psi.
