The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010F1W) 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 PT3/8" ports, a 5 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
GC40010F1W is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination for a 3/8in PT port: a separate filter, regulator and lubricator working as one supply set. The W in the code selects the 5um filter element, which strips finer particulate than the standard 40um element, while the regulator holds your set downstream pressure across 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with this differential-pressure drain configuration and the lubricator meters oil mist downstream. The embedded square gauge reads in MPa.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in size 400 of the GC range (200/300/400/600). Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C non-freezing, and the filter and lubricator bowls are polycarbonate at this size. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us for the datasheet and we will confirm the numbers for your application.

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: GF400-10 filter, GR400-10 regulator and GL400-10 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.

Conditions the supply air on a leak and pressure-test bench, where the 5um element protects gauges, transducers and reference volumes.
Runs random-orbit sanders, nailers and vane air motors in a joinery shop, with the lubricator keeping the motors fed with oil mist.
Feeds looms and spinning frames that combine fine particulate removal with continuous lubrication of pneumatic motion.
Choose the W grade when downstream valves, cylinders or instruments are sensitive to fine particulate; the standard 40um element remains available on non-W codes. Size 400 with a 3/8in PT port is the step above the 300 series; move to 600 for heavier demand. This code has the differential-pressure drain and the embedded square MPa gauge; order A or M for automatic or manual draining and a 2 or 3 gauge scale for psi or bar. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT as catalogue order options, and bracket mounting can be added. AirTAC publishes flow only as curves, so ask us to check this model against your air demand 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 GR400-10 regulator with a GF400-10 filter on that branch.
There is no single rated flow figure for this unit in the AirTAC catalogue; flow is published as curves that vary with upstream and set pressure. Tell us your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
The blank filter code is the standard 40um element, suited to general cylinder and valve service. The W grade filters to 5um for circuits with precision valves, air motors or instrumentation. Note that finer filtration loads faster, so pair your choice with the drain type you prefer - differential-pressure as here, or automatic (A) or manual (M).
