AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015MC1W)
The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015MC1W) 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 (GC40015MC1W)
The AirTAC GC series combines three separate units - filter, pressure regulator and lubricator - into one F.R.L. set for air that is cleaned, regulated and oil-mist lubricated at a single installation point. This GC40015MC1W is size 400 with a 1/2 in PT port. The W code selects the 5 um filter element (finer than the 40 um standard), the bowl is manually drained, the standard regulator covers 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) with manual drain, and a round external gauge on the 1 (MPa) scale is included. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); bowls on the size 400 filter and lubricator are polycarbonate, and the medium is compressed air only.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series runs from size 200 to 600, with PT, G(BSPP) and NPT threads, a choice of drain types and either 40 um or 5 um filtration. Flow for the family is published as curves rather than one rated number, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet and your sizing 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.

| 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". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |

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 (GC40015MC1W) Is Used
Automotive refinish spray line
Feed spray guns and air-fed breathing-air lines' upstream regulation point on a refinish booth: the 5 um element strips finer particles than the standard grade before pressure is set at the regulator, helping keep finishes free of water and dirt defects.
Carton sealing and case packing line
Condition the air supply to case erectors, tape heads and box-clamp cylinders on an end-of-line packaging machine. The regulator holds a stable setting for consistent box clamping while the lubricator carries mist oil to the packing cylinders.
Laboratory automation skid
Supply pneumatic actuators on a lab sample-handling skid where cleaner air is wanted: the 5 um grade filters finer particulate, the regulator fixes actuator pressure, and the manual drain allows a scheduled water bleed during service rounds.
Is the AirTAC GC400-15 FRL Unit (GC40015MC1W) the Right Station?
This code gives you the size 400 body on a 1/2 in PT port - step up to 600 for more flow capacity or down to 300 for compact circuits. The 5 um (W) element is the reason to pick this code over the standard 40 um version: use it ahead of valves, cylinders and air tools that tolerate less particulate. Drain is manual, so plan a routine bleed, or choose an automatic/differential-pressure drain code for unattended lines. The round external gauge reads in MPa (psi and bar scales are separate codes), and PT is the standard thread with G(BSPP) and NPT available to order. Because flow is published as curves and not a single rating, ask us to confirm the datasheet against your application 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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 (GC40015MC1W) FAQ
Yes - on request. AirTAC publishes G-series flow as curves rather than a single rated number, so we do not quote one figure here. Send us your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the datasheet values and check the sizing for you.
The W selects the 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um grade, so the filter stage removes finer particles. Everything else in the decode is the same: size 400, 1/2 in PT port, manual drain, standard regulator (0.05-0.9 MPa / 7-130 psi with manual drain) and a round MPa-scale gauge.
