The AirTAC AirTAC GC300-08 FRL Unit (GC30008ALC1W) 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 automatic drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The GC family joins three separate units - air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator - so one installation cleans, regulates and oil-mist lubricates compressed air. This GC30008ALC1W is the 300 size with PT1/4 ports, an automatic drain on the filter bowl, a 5 um filter element (the W code, instead of the standard 40 um), and the low-pressure (L) regulator type adjusting up to 0.4 MPa. A round external gauge with an MPa scale is fitted. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the 300 filter bowl is PC (polycarbonate), and operation spans -5 to 70 C, non-freezing.
You are ordering a genuine AirTAC part. The G series offers these functions in 200/300/400/600 sizes with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, PT standard threads with G and NPT options, and choices of drain, filter grade, gauge style and scale, and regulator type. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, we confirm flow and full datasheet figures 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. The low-pressure type adjusts over a lower band than standard; we confirm the exact figures from the factory datasheet. 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 reduced-pressure air to purge and pressurize analytical instrument cabinets, with the 5 um element limiting particulate carried into sensitive enclosures.
Feeds dedusting and coating-assist air on a pharmaceutical tablet press that runs at low regulated pressure, where finer filtration helps protect the tooling air circuits.
Conditions the low-pressure air used around filling and capping heads on a bottling line, combining gentle regulation with a 5 um element upstream of close-tolerance valves.
Choose this code when two things matter at once: the low-pressure L regulator, which adjusts up to 0.4 MPa where the standard type reaches 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi with automatic drain), and the 5 um element for finer particulate removal than the standard 40 um grade. The 300 size with PT1/4 ports is the middle step of the series; scale to 200 or 400/600 to follow the line's pipe and demand. Drain is automatic, so the bowl clears itself; manual and differential-pressure types are selectable, as are square embedded gauges and psi or bar scales. PT is the standard thread with G and NPT as catalogue options. AirTAC publishes flow only as curves, so ask us to confirm the 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 GR300-08 regulator with a GF300-08 filter on that branch.
There is no single rated flow to quote: AirTAC publishes G-series capacity as flow curves. Give us your working pressure and consumption and we will confirm the appropriate flow figures and sizing from the datasheet on request.
The W code fits a 5 um element in place of the standard 40 um grade, and the L code selects the regulator that adjusts up to 0.4 MPa. Together they suit machines that run gentle pressures and carry fine-clearance valves or sensitive nozzles downstream.
