About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010ANK)
GC40010ANK is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: separate filter, regulator and lubricator built as one 400-size set on PT 3/8-inch ports, with a reverse (check) valve fitted as specified by the K. With the standard 40 um element it removes water and particulate, sets downstream working pressure, and meters oil mist to the circuit that follows. This code carries the automatic-drain filter bowl (A), the standard regulator type - adjusting 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) on this automatic-drain version - and no gauge (N). Both bowls are polycarbonate at size 400. The medium is compressed air only, maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part sold by a US distributor. The GC series is also available in 200, 300 and 600 sizes with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, with manual or differential-pressure drains, a 5 um element option, gauge options, G/BSPP and NPT thread options and optional brackets. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing 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 (GC40010ANK)
| 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)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| N | No pressure gauge (N). |
| (blank) | Gauge shape: Factory standard. C is round, F is square. |
| (blank) | Gauge scale: Factory standard. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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 (GC40010ANK) Is Used
Clamping fixture retention
Supplies the clamping fixtures in a machining cell where the set's check valve helps the circuit hold its condition if upstream supply dips mid-cycle.
Vertical lift-assist cylinders
Conditions the air to vertical lift-assist cylinders on an assembly station, with the check valve specified in the circuit for positions that must keep their setting.
Truck-depot air bag station
Feeds the load-securing air bags at a freight-depot inflation point, with filtered, regulated, lubricated air and the check valve built into the 3/8-inch set.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010ANK) the Right Station?
The 400 size with PT3/8 ports fits lines built on 3/8-inch supply piping; smaller demand drops to size 300 and heavier lines step to 600 - we confirm sizing from the published flow curves before you order. The K at the end of the code is the real difference here: it specifies the reverse (check) valve fitted to the set; the same unit without it is ordered by dropping the K. The automatic drain (A) empties the filter bowl unattended, with manual (M) and differential-pressure (blank) drains as alternatives. Element grade is the standard 40 um (W gives 5 um) and the standard regulator adjusts 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). No gauge is fitted (N); thread is PT as standard with G and NPT as catalogue options; brackets are optional.
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 (GC40010ANK) FAQ
Flow for the GC series is published as characteristic curves across pressure ranges, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Send us your working pressure and consumption and we will confirm the flow and datasheet on request before you order.
K specifies that a reverse (check) valve is fitted on the set. If your circuit does not need it, the identical F.R.L. set is ordered without the valve simply by dropping the K from the code. We can confirm the valve's behaviour in your circuit from the datasheet on request.
