AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W)
The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W) 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.

About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W)
The GC40010AF1W is an AirTAC G-series three-unit F.R.L. combination - separate filter, regulator and lubricator - built in the 400 size with a 3/8 inch PT port. The W suffix specifies the finer 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um grade, and the automatic drain on the filter bowl clears condensate without manual intervention. The regulator has an embedded square gauge scaled in MPa.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, and the factory offers drain, filter grade, gauge scale and thread variants across the range; maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we will confirm the datasheet figures for your duty 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.
Model Code: AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W)
| GC400 | G-series F.R.L. combination, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |

| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |

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: GF400-10 filter, GR400-10 regulator and GL400-10 lubricator.
Size Class & How It Differs From GFC
- GC200PT1/8" - PT1/4"
- GC300PT1/4" - PT1/2"
- GC400PT3/8" - PT1/2"
- GC600PT3/4" - PT1"
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.

Where the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W) Is Used
Laboratory automation air
Supplies the actuated valves and small cylinders on lab automation benches, where the 5 um element keeps finer particulate out of sensitive pilot circuits and the MPa gauge gives a clear setpoint.
PLC-gated machine tool circuit
Conditions the shop air entering a CNC machine tool's actuated circuit: regulation holds spindle-clamp and tool-change pressures stable, and automatic draining protects the valve stack from condensate.
Textile machinery supply
Feeds the air jets and actuated guides on textile machinery, where continuous running and dusty ambient air make an automatically drained 5 um filter stage practical.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W) the Right Station?
Size 400 with a 3/8 inch port suits lines whose consumption sits between the 300 and 600 sizes; since flow is given as curves, ask us to check this unit against your demand before ordering. The automatic drain keeps the regulator range at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi); the manual-drain variant opens the low end to 0.05 MPa (7 psi). The 5 um element is the reason to pick this code over the standard 40 um unit - match it to equipment that wants cleaner air, and note that the grade can be changed via the W suffix. This version reads MPa on the square gauge; psi and bar scales are options, and PT is standard with G (BSPP) and NPT available to order.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (PT3/8" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain sets the regulating band
- ✓ Gauge fitted, shape and scale
- ✓ Three-unit (GC) or two-unit (GFC) layout
- ✓ Oil mist acceptable downstream
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter first, lubricator last.
- check Mount vertically, bowls down.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Adjust only within 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills; check the oil level.
- check Keep the station above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
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 GR400-10 regulator with a GF400-10 filter on that branch.
AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1W) FAQ
There is no single rated flow figure - AirTAC publishes flow for this series as curves. Send us your working pressure and required consumption and we will confirm the appropriate datasheet values for this 3/8 inch unit on request.
It selects the 5 um filter element in place of the standard 40 um grade. Everything else in this code - 400 size, 3/8 inch PT port, automatic drain, square MPa gauge and the three-unit filter-regulator-lubricator layout - stays the same.
