About the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015C3K)
The GC40015C3K is a three-unit F.R.L. combination from AirTAC's G series: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator delivering clean, regulated, oil-mist-lubricated compressed air, with a reverse/check valve fitted to block backflow through the unit. This configuration uses 1/2 in. PT ports in the size 400 body, a differential-pressure drain on the filter bowl, the standard 40 um filter element, and a round external pressure gauge with a bar scale. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the regulator adjusts from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with this drain type; operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The filter and lubricator bowls are PC (polycarbonate) at size 400.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series is available in sizes 200 through 600, with automatic, manual or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um filtration, square or round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads as catalogue options; the reverse valve is ordered with the K code. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet and sizing 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.

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 (GC40015C3K) Is Used
Stamping press coil feeders
Prepares air for the coil-feed grippers on a mechanical stamping press; the fitted check valve holds the regulated circuit against supply dips between press strokes.
Cable cutting and stripping
Conditions air to the clamp and cutter cylinders on wire-processing machines, with the bar-scale gauge matching the European-built control panels of the equipment.
Weld cell clamp circuits
Supplies the weld-gun clamps on a robotic welding cell, keeping regulated pressure stable downstream of the check valve even during plant-wide pressure fluctuations.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015C3K) the Right Station?
Size 400 with PT1/2 ports fits lines plumbed in 1/2 in. with substantial demand; 200/300 suit lighter circuits and 600 the largest ports. The K code adds a reverse/check valve, useful when a supply-side pressure dip must not pull air back out of the regulated circuit - order the code without K if backflow is not a concern. The differential-pressure drain empties the bowl automatically; automatic (A) and manual (M) drains are alternatives. The standard 40 um element covers general plant air, with the 5 um W grade for finer filtration, and the bar-scale round gauge reads the regulated outlet in bar. PT thread is the standard; G (BSPP) and NPT are options to order. Rated flow is published as curves, not a single figure, so tell us your demand and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet 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 (GC40015C3K) FAQ
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as curves rather than a single rated number, so we do not quote a capacity figure here. Share your working pressure and air demand and we will confirm the flow from the datasheet on request before you order.
K means a reverse/check valve is fitted, preventing backflow out of the regulated circuit if upstream supply pressure drops. The same F.R.L. without K (GC40015C3) omits the valve; drains, filter grade, gauge scale and thread can also be re-specified when ordering.
