The AirTAC GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASWK 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
This AirTAC GAFC20008ASWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a GAFR200-08 filter-regulator body paired with a GAL200-08 lubricator on a T-bracket. The 1/4in port and 590 g weight place it in the compact GAFC200 class, sized for a single actuator or small jig. It carries a 5 um element, so it traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade.
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without an operator, and the 36 cc oil bowl feeds the lubricator with ISO VG 32 oil. The circular gauge reads in MPa/psi. The working range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The reverse-flow valve is fitted. Rated for -5 to 70 C, it must not freeze.

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 on a benchtop assembly jig with filtered, regulated, lubricated air at 1/4in port size.
Supply a clean 5 um air supply to a solenoid pilot valve on a compact indexing table, where fine filtration protects the valve spool.
Run a small bench press cylinder with consistent 0.15-0.9 MPa regulation and automatic condensate removal for continuous light duty.
Choose the GAFC200 body when your line is 1/4in and your flow demand sits within the catalogue curve plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The 5 um element suits precision valves or instrument air, but expect more frequent element service than a 40 um grade. The automatic drain is the right call for unattended machines or wet supply lines. The PT thread carries a MPa/psi gauge scale, so confirm your operators read that dial. The reverse-flow valve is fitted per the K code. The two units are orderable separately as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan supply pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need 0.9 MPa out.
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.
The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 25 cc and the oil bowl 36 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The unit weighs 590 g.
The K code specifies that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this GAFC20008ASWK. The catalogue draws it as a separate pneumatic symbol. The valve is included with the unit as ordered.
