The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020LWK 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
Delivering cleaned, lubricated air at a precisely controlled lower pressure, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves heavy-duty circuits, while the 5 um element captures fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread.
Air passes through the filter, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat stays clean. The 108 cc condensate bowl and 225 cc oil sump reduce maintenance frequency compared to smaller bodies. This assembly includes a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue, and operates within the 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) low-pressure band.

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.

Regulates supply down to 0.4 MPa for light-touch assembly presses that deform or damage parts under high pressure.
Feeds 3/4in header lines for flow-wrapping equipment where delicate film handling demands stable, low-torque actuation.
Conditions main supply air for multi-station lab benches, using the 5 um filter to protect sensitive analytical instruments.
Choose this 2460 g assembly when a machine requires stable low-pressure air delivered at high volume, as the catalogue flow curve for the GAC500 is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The semi-auto and manual drain pair handles condensate on site, while the 5 um element suits instrument-air quality. Because the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if the line must remain oil-free. Replacement spares share the exact same body and port suffix: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. Keep in mind that the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the Standard type's 0.9 MPa maximum, so verify your actuators can operate within this lower range before ordering.
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 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It functions between -5 to 70 C, weighs 2460 g, and features a 108 cc drain bowl alongside a 225 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to the unit. The catalogue displays this as a distinct pneumatic symbol, and specific functional details for this valve should be confirmed from the official datasheet.
