The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30010ASK 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 3/8" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
This AirTAC GAFC30010ASK 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. The 3/8" port size and 1020 g mass place it in the mid-range class, a step up from the GAFC200's 1/4" ports and 590 g, so it suits a machine header feeding several actuators rather than a single jig.
The filter stage removes solids and water droplets, the regulator sets pressure from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the lubricator adds a metered oil mist last, downstream of the regulator seat. The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl define the service interval, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. The circular gauge reads in MPa and psi, matching the PT thread's scale.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-10 filter & regulator, GAL300-10 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 3/8" line to a CNC machine's coolant valve manifold, where the automatic drain handles condensation from frequent compressor cycling and the 40 um element protects the solenoid valves.
Supply a multi-operator assembly bench with filtered, regulated, lubricated air for pneumatic screwdrivers and small cylinders, relying on the 98 cc oil bowl to keep tools running between shifts.
Power a film-sealing press actuator on a packaging line, where the 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers the 0.6 MPa operating point and the reverse-flow valve is specified for the circuit design.
Choose the GAFC300 body when your line needs more flow than a GAFC200 but less than a GAFC400: the catalogue plots the GAFC300 flow curve to 3500 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, versus 1750 L/min for the GAFC200. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the automatic drain suits unattended operation, while the 40 um element covers general shop air. The K code adds a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, which the catalogue draws as a separate pneumatic symbol. Spare parts are the GAFR300-10 filter-regulator and GAL300-10 lubricator, both orderable separately.
With the standard pressure type, the 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the inlet pressure carefully if you need the full output.
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 GAFR300-10 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
The GAFC30010ASK operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It works from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The drain bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl 98 cc, with a total weight of 1020 g. Use ISO VG 32 lubricant in the oil bowl.
The K code specifies a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted to the unit. The catalogue shows it as a separate pneumatic symbol in the circuit. This is an ordering difference from the standard GAFC30010AS, which does not include the valve.
