The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08SNWK 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 GAFC300N08SNWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. With a 1/4in port and a 1020 g mass, it suits panel or frame mounting rather than tubing support alone. The 5 um element traps fine particles for sensitive valves, while the nylon bowl and semi-auto plus manual drain define the service routine.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum supply. Air is filtered and regulated in the first body, then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl set the attendance interval, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted per the K code.

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.

Feed a 5 um-filtered, regulated air supply to a bank of pneumatic pilot valves on a small assembly machine, where fine particles could otherwise jam spool seals.
Power a single 1/4in-operated conveyor stop gate or a small index table cylinder, with the lubricator maintaining a consistent oil mist for the actuator seals.
Supply a laboratory test fixture that needs clean, pressure-set air at up to 0.9 MPa, with the 5 um element protecting sensitive flow meters and regulators downstream.
Choose the GAFC300 body for 1/4in or 3/8in ports; this 08 code is the 1/4in size, sitting between the smaller GAFC200 and the larger GAFC400 in the range. The nylon bowl is specified by the N before the port, and the 5 um element by the W after it - a finer grade than the standard 40 um, so expect more frequent element service. No gauge is supplied (N after the port); the 1/8in gauge connection allows adding one later. The semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop, with a manual backup for on-demand use, and the PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale if fitted. The reverse-flow valve is present but its function is detailed on the catalogue's separate page. Spares are the GAFR300-08 filter-regulator and GAL300-08 lubricator. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the 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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
The working pressure 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 temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl 98 cc, with a total weight of 1020 g.
The N after the port code specifies no gauge is supplied, so you cannot read the set pressure without adding one to the 1/8in gauge connection. The K code indicates the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted; the catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol with its own reference page.
