About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1K)
The AirTAC GC series is a three-piece F.R.L. combination - separate filter, regulator and lubricator - delivering clean, regulated, lubricated compressed air from one point. This GC40010MF1K 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, an embedded square pressure gauge reading in MPa, and a reverse (check) valve fitted so downstream pressure is retained if the upstream supply falls away. Max working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); the manual-drain 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 is available in the 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, and catalogue options for thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale, and the check valve. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, 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 (GC40010MF1K)
| 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). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 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 (GC40010MF1K) Is Used
Bolt-tensioning tool station
Feeds nut-splitting and tensioning tools at a bolting station, with the fitted check valve holding the circuit's pressure while the compressor or supply line is switched over.
Carton palletizer actuators
Supplies the clamp, squaring and pusher cylinders on a carton palletizer; steady regulated pressure keeps cycles consistent, and the check valve supports the circuit during brief supply dips.
Press safety gate circuits
Prepares air for light-curtain interlocked press safety gates, where the check valve helps the gate circuit retain its state if the shop air main loses pressure.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1K) the Right Station?
Choose the size by required flow and port, stepping 200 / 300 / 400 / 600; this 400 set uses a 3/8 in PT port. Drain type is a genuine choice: manual here, which suits points where the bowl is bled as part of routine checks, versus automatic or the default differential-pressure drain on other codes. The 40 um element is the standard grade, with the 5 um (W) grade available for finer duty. The square embedded gauge reads in MPa; round external gauges and psi or bar scales are catalogue options. The K code adds the check valve, useful where the circuit must hold pressure independently of the supply; leave it off if not needed. PT is the standard thread; G and NPT are order options.
Because flow is published as curves rather than a single figure, we cannot quote a rated number - ask us to confirm sizing against the datasheet before ordering.
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 (GC40010MF1K) FAQ
We confirm flow from the datasheet on request, because AirTAC publishes this series' flow as characteristic curves rather than a single rated figure. Share your line pressure and air demand and we will verify the 400 size is right before you order.
The manual drain on this model means an operator opens the bowl drain as part of routine checks - straightforward and reliable at supervised points. The automatic drain (A code) suits unsupervised or remote installations where nobody is on hand to bleed the bowl regularly.
