The AirTAC AirTAC GC300-08 FRL Unit (GC30008AF3K) 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 40 µm element, a automatic drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The GC family combines three separate AirTAC units - filter, regulator and lubricator - so compressed air is cleaned, pressure-regulated and oil-mist lubricated in one installation. This GC30008AF3K is the 300 size with PT1/4 ports, an automatic drain on the filter bowl, the standard 40 um filter element, an embedded square gauge with a bar scale, and a reverse flow check valve fitted. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); with the automatic drain, the regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The 300 filter bowl is PC (polycarbonate) and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
You are buying a genuine AirTAC part. Across the G series the same function is offered in 200/300/400/600 sizes with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, PT standard threads plus G and NPT options, and a choice of drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale, and check valve. Flow data appears as curves, not a single rating, so we confirm flow and datasheet details 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: GF300-08 filter, GR300-08 regulator and GL300-08 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.

Supplies regulated, lubricated air to carton-forming, sealing and labeling cylinders along a packaging conveyor, with the bar-scale gauge matching the machine's metric documentation.
Feeds impact drivers, riveters and air nutscrewdrivers at an assembly station, where oil-mist lubrication and stable regulated pressure keep hand tools working consistently.
Conditions the air feeding a solenoid-valve manifold on an automated machine, with the fitted check valve helping preserve downstream pressure during brief supply interruptions.
Step through the G series by size: the 300 body with PT1/4 ports suits general machine supply, with 400/600 for heavier demand and 200 for compact builds. The automatic drain keeps condensate off the bowl floor without manual draining; manual (M) and differential-pressure (blank) types exist. This version keeps the standard 40 um element for general-purpose protection, and its square gauge reads in bar - handy for machines documented in metric units; psi and MPa scales and the round external gauge are alternatives. PT is the standard thread, with G and NPT available as catalogue options. Since flow is published only as curves, ask us to confirm the sizing for 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 GR300-08 regulator with a GF300-08 filter on that branch.
AirTAC states G-series flow as performance curves, not as a single rated value, so we do not publish a number on the page. Share your operating pressure and consumption and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet on request.
The F code fits the embedded square gauge and the scale 3 code sets it to bar. If your plant works in MPa or psi, the same unit is available with those scales, and a round external gauge is also a catalogue option.
