AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ANW)
The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ANW) 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.

About the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ANW)
GC40015ANW is a genuine AirTAC G-series three-unit F.R.L. set: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator that together condition compressed air at one station. This 400-size set is ported PT1/2, the filter bowl has an automatic drain, and the W code selects the finer 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard; no gauge is fitted as coded (N). The standard-type regulator covers a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) setting range with the automatic drain, inlet pressure is up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the medium is compressed air, and the units operate from -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). Bowls on the 400 size are polycarbonate.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC combination comes in 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes, with a choice of drain types, 40 um or 5 um elements, gauge options and PT, G (BSPP) or NPT threads. AirTAC publishes flow as characteristic curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm flow and datasheet figures on request before you order.

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 (GC40015ANW)
| GC400 | G-series F.R.L. combination, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 15 | Port size PT1/2". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| N | No pressure gauge (N). |
| (blank) | Gauge shape: Factory standard. C is round, F is square. |
| (blank) | Gauge scale: Factory standard. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| (blank) | No reverse-flow valve (the default). |
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 (GC40015ANW) Is Used
Laboratory instrument air supply
Benchtop analytical and test instruments with pneumatic actuation take fine-filtered, regulated and lubricated air from this set, with the 5 um element guarding sensitive internal valves.
PLC-driven pneumatic control panel
A control panel feeding pilot valves and positioners draws conditioned air from this PT1/2 set, the automatic drain keeping condensate out of the bowl without opening the enclosure.
Precision pneumatic fixture on a machining line
Dedicated clamping and ejection fixtures next to a machine tool run on clean, pressure-stable air from this set, protecting small-bore cylinders from fine contamination.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015ANW) the Right Station?
Step between the 200/300/400/600 G-series sizes to match port size and flow demand; the 400 size with its 1/2 inch port sits mid-range for general plant air. Drain choice is automatic (fitted here), manual or the differential-pressure default, so pick automatic where bowls are hard to reach or the line runs unattended. Filter grade is the choice here: the W code gives 5 um where downstream equipment is sensitive, against the 40 um standard for general circuits. A gauge with MPa, psi or bar scale can be added where it is omitted, and PT is the standard thread with G (BSPP) and NPT as catalogue options.
AirTAC publishes flow as curves, not a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application 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 (GC40015ANW) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow as characteristic curves rather than a single rated number, so we do not quote a one-line figure. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant flow and datasheet figures on request before you order.
The W code selects the 5 um element, suited to sensitive downstream equipment such as precision valves, instruments or spray equipment; the 40 um standard element suits general plant circuits. Both are catalogue options on the same GC set.
