AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MC3)
The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MC3) 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 40 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).

About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MC3)
The AirTAC GC series combines a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator into one three-piece F.R.L. set for clean, regulated, lubricated compressed air. This GC40010MC3 is the 400 size with a 3/8 in PT port, the standard 40 um filter element and a manual drain on the filter bowl, and it includes a round external pressure gauge reading in bar - convenient when the rest of the panel instrumentation is specified in bar. Max working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); with the manual drain, the regulator adjusts from 0.05 to 0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), and the temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. The filter and lubricator bowls in the 400 size are PC (polycarbonate).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series runs from the 200 to the 600 size with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, plus catalogue options for thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale. Flow for this series is published as curves, not as a single rated number, so tell us your application and we will confirm sizing and datasheet details 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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 (GC40010MC3)
| 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". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard 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. |
| 3 | Gauge scale: bar. 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. |

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 (GC40010MC3) Is Used
Packaging conveyor diverters
Feeds the diverters, pushers and stop gates on a packaging conveyor line with steady, lubricated air so cylinder stroke speed stays consistent through the shift.
Process skid control valve supply
Prepares instrument-quality air for pneumatic control valves and positioners on a process skid, with the bar-scale gauge reading the same units as the skid's local instruments.
Vehicle assembly air tool station
Drops a regulated, oil-misted supply for impact wrenches and air ratchets at a vehicle or trailer assembly cell, keeping tools lubricated through continuous use.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MC3) the Right Station?
Step up through the 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes as your flow demand and port size grow; this 400 set uses a 3/8 in PT port. The gauge choice matters for readability and consistency: this model carries a round gauge scaled in bar, which matches European-style instrumentation; MPa and psi scales are the other catalogue options. Drain type is likewise a choice - manual here, with automatic and the default differential-pressure drain available on other codes. The 40 um element is the standard grade; the fine 5 um (W) grade is available if your equipment needs it. PT is the standard thread; G and NPT are order options.
We confirm flow from the datasheet on request, since it is published as curves rather than a single rating - ask us before you finalize the size.
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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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 (GC40010MC3) FAQ
We do not quote a single rated flow because AirTAC publishes this series' flow as characteristic curves, not one number. Share your line pressure and demand and we will confirm the correct size against the datasheet on request.
Yes. Gauge style and scale are catalogue choices in the GC series: round or square gauges with MPa, psi or bar scales. This model carries a round gauge scaled in bar; MPa and psi versions are available on the corresponding codes.
