The AirTAC AirTAC GC200-08 F.R.L. Unit, G1/4, 5 um, Manual Drain 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. It has PT1/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GC200-08 is a three-piece F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled as one unit, giving a compressed-air supply that is cleaned of water and particulate down to 5 um, regulated and lubricated in a single mounting. This configuration is built on the 200 size with a G1/4 (1/4 in) port, G (BSPP) thread, a manual-drain bowl in polycarbonate, a 5 um filter element, a low-pressure regulator, an embedded square gauge scaled in psi, a fitted reverse/check valve and an included mounting bracket. The reverse/check valve holds the downstream circuit against backflow, and the manual drain is emptied by hand on a maintenance routine you set.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and with choices of thread (PT standard; G and NPT as order options), drain type, filter grade (40 um standard, 5 um optional), gauge style and scale, and reverse/check valve. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, 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. The low-pressure type adjusts over a lower band than standard; we confirm the exact figures from the factory datasheet. 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.

|---|---|
| 08 | Port size PT1/4". This body offers 06 = PT1/8", 08 = PT1/4". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |

| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| G | G (BSPP) thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
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: GF200-08 filter, GR200-08 regulator and GL200-08 lubricator.
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.

Feeding the pneumatic grippers, clamp cylinders and label heads on a bottling or carton-packing line, where one point-of-use unit cleans the air to 5 um, holds a low regulated pressure and delivers oil mist to keep the actuators running smoothly through each shift.
Supplying the air cylinders that divert, stop and push product along conveyor lines, where the 5 um element protects the small control valves from water and particulate, the lubricator carries oil mist downstream, and the psi gauge lets line staff verify supply at a glance.
Powering workholding clamps and swing cylinders on CNC fixtures, where the reverse/check valve helps hold the clamped circuit against supply fluctuations, the low-pressure regulator suits light clamping forces, and the 5 um grade keeps the fine metering valves clean.
Size up by port and required flow: this unit is the 200 size at G1/4 (1/4 in); larger sizes (300/400/600) carry larger ports and more flow, so step up if your line demand exceeds what a 1/4 in supply can pass. The 5 um element (code W) is the finer option over the 40 um standard - choose it where downstream valves and cylinders need cleaner air, and note the manual drain suits installations you already service on a schedule; automatic or differential-pressure drains are available elsewhere in the series if you prefer hands-off drainage. The low-pressure regulator is intended for circuits running below the standard regulator range; the exact range is not published, so confirm it with us before ordering. The fitted square gauge reads in psi (MPa and bar scales are alternatives), the reverse/check valve is already fitted, and the bracket is included. Thread here is G (BSPP); PT is the catalogue standard and NPT is also orderable. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, ask us to confirm sizing against your application before you order.
Quick checklist
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 GR200-08 regulator with a GF200-08 filter on that branch.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC series as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a rated flow, Cv or SCFM figure. Send us your application details and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet and check the sizing against your demand before you order.
The L in the code GC20008MLF2WGK specifies the low-pressure regulator type, intended for circuits running below the standard regulator range; the exact range is not published, so confirm it with us for your setpoint. The M specifies a manual drain, meaning the polycarbonate bowl is emptied by hand on a maintenance routine - if you would rather not drain by hand, the series also offers automatic and differential-pressure drain options.
