About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010LC1W)
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator assembled as one set, so a single supply line is filtered, regulated and oiled in the correct order. This GC40010LC1W is the 400 size with 3/8in PT ports, the fine 5 um filter element (W), a differential-pressure drain, a low-pressure type regulator and an external round pressure gauge reading in MPa. Like every GC set it runs on compressed air only, accepts up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) inlet, works from -5 to 70 C (non-freezing), and uses polycarbonate bowls at this size.
It is a genuine AirTAC part from the G-series air-treatment range, which spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8in to 1in, plus options such as automatic or manual drains, a 40 um standard element, G (BSPP) or NPT threads and psi or bar gauge scales. Flow for the series is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet values for this exact model against 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. 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.
Model Code: AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010LC1W)
| 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". |
| (blank) | Drain: Differential-pressure drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. 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. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| (blank) | No reverse-flow valve (the default). |
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 (GC40010LC1W) Is Used
Pilot-plant process skid
Supplies filtered, regulated and lubricated air to the pneumatic valve actuators and sample-handling cylinders on a chemical pilot-plant skid, with the 5 um element protecting small control valves and the round MPa gauge giving a clear setpoint readout.
Bottling line filler changeover
Runs the clamp and lift cylinders on a bottling-hall filler carousel; the low-pressure type regulator suits a moderate line setting while the lubricator feeds the cylinder seals through every changeover cycle.
Pharma cartoner divert gates
Feeds the divert gates and reject pushers on a pharmaceutical cartoning conveyor, where the 5 um grade keeps fine particles out of the small gate cylinders and the gauge lets the line engineer verify supply at a glance.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010LC1W) the Right Station?
Step up to the 400 size when your line port is 3/8in and machine demand exceeds what a 300 set comfortably serves; larger sizes move more air, but the exact figures are curve-based, so let us check the sizing for you before ordering. The differential-pressure drain suits a steadily used line, while automatic and manual drains are alternatives within the series. The 5 um (W) element here gives finer protection than the standard 40 um grade. This version carries a round external gauge on the MPa scale; psi and bar scales are available, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads can be ordered in place of the PT standard.
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 (GC40010LC1W) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the G series as performance curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a figure here. Send us your required flow and inlet pressure and we will confirm the GC40010 datasheet curve against your application before you order.
The W in this code selects the 5 um element, which filters finer than the standard 40 um grade. It is the better choice where small control valves, gate cylinders or fittings sit downstream. If your circuit only needs general protection, the standard grade version of the same set is also available.
