The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08ALNWK 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
This GAFC300 F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-shape bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body before oil mist is metered in downstream. The 1/4in port and 1020 g weight place it in the mid-size class, suited to a single machine station or a small assembly bench.
The lower-pressure regulator tops out at 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), which suits delicate grippers or low-force clamping. The 5 um element traps fine particles for sensitive valves, while the 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm. A nylon bowl is fitted, and the unit carries a reverse-flow valve.

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 GAFC300 is 1/8" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-08 filter & regulator, GAL300-08 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.

Set a delicate press or a small parts feeder to 0.3 MPa without risking over-force, while the 5 um element keeps fine particles away from precision slides.
Feed a small test rig or a sample preparation station with filtered, regulated air, and let the automatic drain handle condensate during long unattended runs.
Power a blow-off nozzle or a small air tool on a service cart, with the lower pressure range protecting sensitive components from accidental over-pressure.
Choose the GAFC300N08ALNWK when your line needs fine filtration and a gentle pressure ceiling. The 5 um element protects precision equipment but will need more frequent service than a 40 um unit. The automatic drain clears condensate by itself, and the nylon bowl is a build choice - confirm it suits your environment, as the -5 to 70 C specification applies to all bowl materials. No gauge is supplied, so the 1/8in gauge connection is where you would add one to read the set pressure. The reverse-flow valve is fitted per the K code. Spares are the GAFR300-08 filter-regulator and GAL300-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated range.
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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
This F.R.L. combination works with air only. The lower-pressure regulator operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It runs from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The condensate bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl 98 cc. Use ISO VG 32 lubricant. The complete unit weighs 1020 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied with this unit. The GAFC300 body has a 1/8in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge there later if you need to read the set pressure directly. Until then, the regulated output is set by the adjusting knob.
