About the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1W)
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, a pressure regulator and a lubricator supplied as one set. This GC40015AF1W is size 400 with 1/2 in PT ports, an automatic drain on the filter bowl, a 5 um filter element and a square gauge scaled in MPa. In service it removes water and particulate from the compressed air, holds a steady downstream pressure adjustable from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20 to 130 psi), and meters a fine oil mist to lubricate downstream valves, cylinders and tools.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with PT, G(BSPP) or NPT threads, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um elements, and MPa, psi or bar gauge scales. Size 400 bowls are polycarbonate; maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating - ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures 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: GF400-15 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 (GC40015AF1W) Is Used
CNC machining centre air supply
Feeds the tool-changer cylinders, clamps and air-blast nozzles of a CNC milling machine, with the 5 um element suiting the finer pilot valves downstream.
Pneumatic clamping on a welding fixture
Regulated pressure to swing clamps and hold-down cylinders on a robotic welding cell, keeping clamp force consistent across the shift while the lubricator oils the cylinders.
Pick-and-place robot cell
Supplies the vacuum ejectors and gripper cylinders of a pick-and-place handling cell from the plant air main, with automatic condensate draining at the filter bowl.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015AF1W) the Right Station?
Size 400 with 1/2 in PT ports is the larger mid step of the G series; step down to 300 or up to 600 depending on the flow your line needs. The automatic drain vents collected condensate without operator attention, while manual and differential-pressure drains are orderable alternatives. This unit carries the 5 um element rather than the standard 40 um, so choose it when finer filtration is wanted. The gauge is the square type scaled in MPa (psi and bar versions exist), threads can be ordered in G or NPT, and a mounting bracket is available. Flow is published as curves, not one rated figure, so send us your application details and we will confirm sizing 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 (GC40015AF1W) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the G series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Tell us your line pressure and demand and we will confirm the datasheet flow data for this size 400, 1/2 in set before you order.
The GC40015AF1W carries the optional 5 um element (code W), which filters more finely than the 40 um standard grade. Choose it when downstream valves or processes are sensitive to finer particles; the 40 um version of the same set is available if coarse protection is enough.
