The AirTAC AirTAC GC200-08 FRL Unit (GC20008NW) is a genuine G-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate filter, a separate regulator and a separate lubricator assembled as one air-preparation station. It has PT1/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator mounted as one set, so one conditioned-air connection handles filtration, regulation and oil-mist lubrication. This GC20008NW is the 200 size with 1/4 in PT ports and the fine 5 um filter element (W code) for air that feeds sensitive components such as spool valves and pilot circuits. It uses a differential-pressure drain and carries no gauge (N code). Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and with the differential-pressure drain the regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the G series, which runs from 200 through 600 sizes with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in. Filter grade (40 um standard or this 5 um option), drain type, gauge and scale, thread (PT standard; G and NPT are catalogue options) and bracket choices are all selectable. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm datasheet and sizing figures for your application on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). The combination has no separate bracket code — the three units couple together with their own mounting hardware. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.

Field order is size, port, drain, type, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GF200-08 filter, GR200-08 regulator and GL200-08 lubricator.
A GC is three separate units, so the filter and the regulator can each be serviced or replaced on their own. A GFC is the two-unit set, where filtering and regulating share one body — shorter, but the two functions come as one part. Both filter, regulate and lubricate.

Feeds directional control valves and small cylinders on an automation cell, where the 5 um element strips finer particles that could seat in valve spools and cause sticky shifting.
Conditions the pilot air feeding positioners and actuated process valves on a process line, with regulated pressure set at the regulator and the 5 um grade keeping the pilot circuit clean.
Runs the small air motors on counting or diverting heads over a conveyor, providing filtered, regulated, lubricated air so the motors stay supplied with oil mist in continuous duty.
The 200 frame with 1/4 in PT ports suits compact circuits; move to GC300, GC400 or GC600 with 3/8 in to 1 in ports when demand grows. The W code selects the 5 um element instead of the standard 40 um - pick 5 um when the downstream valves or process are sensitive to finer particles, and stay at 40 um for general workshop air. This version has the differential-pressure drain and no gauge; a gauged code with MPa, psi or bar scale is available. No check valve is fitted; a K-suffixed code adds one. Thread is PT as standard with G (BSPP) and NPT available, and a bracket can be selected. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any branch of the line must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator, or use a GR200-08 regulator with a GF200-08 filter on that branch.
Flow for the GC series is published as characteristic curves, not a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Send us your working pressure and consumption and we will confirm the datasheet figures and sizing for your application on request.
W selects the 5 um filter element in place of the 40 um standard. Choose 5 um when the downstream equipment - spool valves, pilot circuits, coating work - needs finer particulate removal; the 40 um grade suits general-purpose shop air.
