About the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ALC1)
GC40015ALC1 is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: separate filter, regulator and lubricator assembled as one set. The L in the code specifies the low-pressure regulator type, whose adjustment extends up to 0.4 MPa, and the C1 suffix fits an external round pressure gauge scaled in MPa. This 400-size unit carries a PT1/2 port, automatic drain on the filter bowl and the standard 40 um filter element.
This is a genuine AirTAC part for compressed air, rated to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum working pressure and -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The 400 size uses polycarbonate bowls. With automatic drain the standard-type regulator spans 0.15 to 0.9 MPa, while this low-pressure type adjusts up to 0.4 MPa. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm sizing and datasheet figures 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. 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.

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 (GC40015ALC1) Is Used
Laboratory test rig actuation
Supplies gently regulated, filtered and lubricated air to clamps and actuators on a materials test rig, where the low-pressure regulator holds setpoints in the sub-0.4 MPa band.
Ceramic tile handling line
Conditions air for suction pads and transfer cylinders moving fragile tile sheets, with low-pressure regulation reducing the risk of over-clamping delicate ware.
Food packaging clamshell closer
Feeds the pneumatic press cylinders on a clamshell packaging machine, where the 40 um element and automatic drain suit a washdown-adjacent, lightly attended line.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ALC1) the Right Station?
Specify the L (low-pressure) type when your process runs below the standard adjustment band: this unit's regulator adjusts up to 0.4 MPa, whereas the standard GC400 regulator with automatic drain spans 0.15 to 0.9 MPa. Gauge is the round external type scaled in MPa here; square embedded gauges and MPa, psi or bar scales are the other decodable options. Filtration stays at the standard 40 um grade (5 um is the W alternative), drain is automatic, and thread is PT standard with G (BSPP) and NPT as orderable options.
Flow appears only as published curves, so ask us to confirm this size against your application demand before ordering.
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 (GC40015ALC1) FAQ
No single rated flow figure exists for this unit; AirTAC publishes GC-series flow data as performance curves. Send us your air demand and operating pressure and we will confirm the size and provide the datasheet on request before you order.
The L in the code selects the low-pressure regulator type, whose adjustment extends up to 0.4 MPa, suited to processes running below the standard band. On a standard GC400 with automatic drain the regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa; here the round MPa gauge tracks the lower setpoints.
