The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020ASNK 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 3/4" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for heavy pneumatic lines, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port pairs with a 2460 g mass, placing it in a size class that demands a firm panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls.
This specific configuration features a 40 um element and operates within the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) standard pressure range. Because the code carries an N after the port, no gauge is supplied; the 1/4in gauge connection allows adding one later to read the set pressure. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 108 cc bowl without an operator, and the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.

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 GAC500 is 1/4" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF500-20 filter, GAR500-20 regulator, GAL500-20 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 large robotic welding arms and body framing actuators where a steady 3/4in air supply is required to maintain cycle times.
Conditions air for heavy-duty bag palletizers and stretch wrap machinery, utilizing the automatic drain for unattended wet-line operation.
Supplies a clean, lubricated air main to multi-station conveyor diverters and sorting gates in high-throughput distribution centers.
Choose this 3/4in body for substantial air flows, noting the catalogue flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. If a finer 5 um element is needed for precision valves, select a W code; if the machine requires oil-free air downstream, omit the lubricator entirely and choose a filter-regulator instead. The three constituent units are separately orderable as GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20, meaning a clogged element does not require replacing the whole assembly. Stepping down to the GAC400 body drops the plotted flow envelope to 6000 L/min, whereas moving up to the GAC600 body increases the drain bowl to 205 cc, which is roughly 1.9x the 108 cc condensate capacity found here.
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 maximum 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, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. It features a 108 cc drain bowl, a 225 cc oil bowl, and weighs 2460 g.
The N in the ordering code signifies that no circular gauge is supplied. The unit has a 1/4in gauge connection, allowing operators to install a separate gauge reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread if they need to verify the downstream set pressure.
