About the Airtac GC FRL Unit GC400C15ANW
GC400C15ANW is a GC-series three-piece F.R.L. combination from AirTAC: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator supplied as one set. The size 400 body is ported PT1/2, the filter bowl drains automatically, and the W code selects the 5 um element - a finer filtration grade than the standard 40 um. The N code means no gauge is fitted on this configuration. Regulator adjustment range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with the automatic drain, maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the 400-size bowls are polycarbonate, rated for -5 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G-series F.R.L. comes in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with a choice of ports, PT (standard), G or NPT threads, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) elements, gauge options and an optional check valve. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm the datasheet and flow figures 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-C1 filter, GR400-C1 regulator and GL400-C1 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 GC FRL Unit GC400C15ANW Is Used
SMT pick-and-place air prep
Conditions the air feeding pick-and-place heads on an electronics SMT line, with the 5 um element screening finer particulate before air reaches the head valves.
Cartoning machine supply
Runs the cylinders and vacuum generators on a cartoning or case-packing machine; the automatic drain clears condensate on lines that run shift after shift without supervision.
Paint booth atomizing air
Prepares air upstream of spray equipment in a paint booth, where the finer 5 um grade supports cleaner air reaching the atomizing circuit.
Is the Airtac GC FRL Unit GC400C15ANW the Right Station?
Match the size 200/300/400/600 step and port to your line before anything else; this unit is the size 400 body with PT1/2 ports, and G or NPT thread versions can be ordered as catalogue variants. The W grade is the point of this code: 5 um filtration instead of the standard 40 um, for air feeding sensitive downstream equipment. The automatic drain suits circuits that run unattended; a manual-drain version would widen regulator adjustment to 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) if you prefer scheduled draining. Gauges and an optional mounting bracket are available in the series. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (See datasheet 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-C1 regulator with a GF400-C1 filter on that branch.
Airtac GC FRL Unit GC400C15ANW FAQ
Flow for the G-series is published as curves, not as one rated figure, so there is no single number to quote here. Send us your operating conditions and we will confirm the datasheet and flow curve for GC400C15ANW on request before you order.
The standard GC filter grade is 40 um; the W code selects the optional 5 um element for finer particulate removal. Choose W where downstream equipment is sensitive to finer contamination, and pair it with the automatic drain as in this code for unattended duty.
