About the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1)
The GC40015AF1 is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled as one working set. This configuration is a size 400 unit with a PT1/2 (1/2 in) port, a 40 um standard filter element with an automatic drain on the filter bowl, a standard-type regulator adjustable from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and a fitted square gauge reading in MPa. The bowls on the filter and lubricator are PC (polycarbonate) at this size, maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). A mounting bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC family is also available in sizes 200, 300 and 600 with the matching port sizes, and options include a 5 um filter element (code W), a manual or differential-pressure drain in place of the automatic drain, G (BSPP) or NPT threads as order options, gauge scales in psi or bar, and an external round gauge in place of the embedded square gauge. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures for your application 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 GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1)
| GC400 | G-series F.R.L. combination, 400 body — sets the port range. |

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: GF400-15 filter, GR400-15 regulator and GL400-15 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 GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1) Is Used
Automotive paint shop air supply
Point-of-use conditioning for a spray booth line: the filter removes water and particulate before the regulator holds a steady set pressure for spray guns, with the lubricator misting air tools downstream.
Carton sealing and packaging line
Feeding the pneumatic cylinders and gripper actuators on a case-packing conveyor, where one F.R.L. set at the machine inlet keeps the air clean, dry, regulated and lubricated for the whole station.
CNC machine shop workholding
Supplying pneumatic clamps and tool-change cylinders on a machining centre, where stable regulated pressure and lubricated air keep clamping action consistent across shifts.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1) the Right Station?
Step through the real choices before ordering. Size and port: 200, 300, 400 and 600 step up in port size and flow capacity, so match the size to the air demand of the machine - this unit is size 400 with a PT1/2 port. Drain type: automatic (as coded here) empties the filter bowl without operator attention; manual and differential-pressure drains are the alternatives. Filter grade: 40 um is the standard element; specify 5 um (code W) where finer particulate removal is needed. Gauge: the fitted square gauge reads MPa; psi or bar scales and an external round gauge can be ordered. Thread: PT is the standard; G (BSPP) and NPT are order options. A bracket is included with this unit.
One honest note on sizing: AirTAC publishes flow for this family as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a flow figure here. Send us your application's air demand and we will confirm the correct size against the datasheet curves before you order.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (PT1/2" 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 GR400-15 regulator with a GF400-15 filter on that branch.
AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC series as curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not state a flow number here. Send us your required air demand and operating pressure and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
The A in the code GC40015AF1 selects an automatic drain on the filter bowl, so collected condensate is expelled without an operator having to open the drain. Manual (code M) and differential-pressure (blank) drains are the catalogue alternatives if you prefer a different drain style on the same size 400, PT1/2 unit.
