About the Airtac GC FRL Unit GC400C15F1W
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator piped together as one set, so the supply is cleaned, held at a set pressure and oiled before it reaches cylinders, valves and air tools. This GC400C15F1W is the size 400 set with PT1/2 (1/2 inch) PT ports, the W-code 5 um filter element, a differential-pressure drain on the filter bowl and an external round pressure gauge scaled in MPa. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), the regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20 to 130 psi), the temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing), and the filter bowl on size 400 is polycarbonate (PC).
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the GC range, which runs in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, PT (standard), G (BSPP) or NPT threads, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um standard or 5 um (W) filter elements, square or round gauges in MPa, psi or bar scales, and an optional reverse valve. AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than a single rated figure, so send us your operating conditions and we will 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. 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 GC400C15F1W Is Used
Pilot valves on a bottling-line filler
The 5 um element gives finer protection to the pilot-operated directional valves controlling filler and capper actuators on a bottling line, with the regulator holding a steady set pressure through the PT1/2 drop.
Pneumatic actuation on lab and test rigs
On a test bench or laboratory rig where cylinders and air-driven fixtures see sensitive instrumentation, the F.R.L. set supplies filtered, regulated and lubricated air from a 1/2-inch service.
Pick-and-place cylinders on a packaging machine
Feeding pick-and-place and gantry cylinders on a packaging machine, the set keeps the supply clean at 5 um, pressure-stable and lightly oiled for consistent cylinder cycling.
Is the Airtac GC FRL Unit GC400C15F1W the Right Station?
Choose size 400 with PT1/2 ports for 1/2-inch mains where the duty sits between the 300 and 600 sets - size by flow first, then match the port. The W in this code selects the finer 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard; keep 40 um where only coarse protection is needed and specify W where the downstream valves want cleaner air. Drain is differential-pressure as ordered (A automatic and M manual are the other catalogue choices), and the gauge is an external round MPa type - an embedded square gauge or psi/bar scales can be ordered instead. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT as orderable suffixes. Flow data is published as curves rather than 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 GC400C15F1W FAQ
Flow for the GC series is published by AirTAC as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not state one number. Share your operating pressure and demand and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
The W code orders the 5 um filter element in place of the 40 um standard, giving finer filtration for the regulator and lubricator sections and the downstream equipment. Choose 40 um for general-duty air and 5 um where the application calls for a cleaner supply.
