The AirTAC GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASN is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/4" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
This AirTAC GAFC20008ASN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. It handles a 1/4in port and delivers air filtered to 40 um, regulated from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a metered oil mist added downstream.
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without an operator, while the 36 cc oil bowl extends time between refills. At 590 g, this compact unit suits small jigs or single actuators. No gauge is fitted, so the 1/8in gauge connection is available if you add one later.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFC catalogue (pages 219-220). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFC200 is 1/8" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR200-08 filter & regulator, GAL200-08 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.
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.

Feed a single pneumatic clamp or positioning jig on a small assembly bench, where the 1/4in port and 590 g weight keep the setup compact and the regulated air protects the actuator.
Power a small conveyor stop cylinder or a gate actuator on a packaging line, using the automatic drain to handle condensate in a humid plant without daily manual attention.
Build a test rig for a new machine design, where the two-piece F.R.L. saves rail space and the 40 um element keeps prototype valves clear of larger particles during development.
Choose the GAFC200 for light-duty lines up to 1/4in port. The automatic drain (A) is ideal for wet or unattended lines, saving manual checks. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue lists no material-specific ratings. The 40 um element is the default; step to 5 um (W) for finer filtration but plan more frequent element changes. PT threads with an MPa/psi gauge scale are standard, and no gauge is supplied on this code. Spares are orderable as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08. If your line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan your inlet pressure accordingly.
Quick checklist
The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any part of the line must stay oil-free, use a plain GAFR200-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
This F.R.L. combination operates on air from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl 36 cc, and the unit weighs 590 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied. This keeps the unit lighter and simpler, but you cannot read the set pressure directly. A gauge can be added later using the 1/8in gauge connection on the GAFC200 body.
