The AirTAC AirTAC GC20008MLF2W F.R.L. Unit 1/4 in PT, 5 um Filter 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 GC series is a three-piece F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled as one unit, so compressed air is cleaned of water and particulate, held at a set pressure, and carries a fine oil mist to downstream tools and cylinders. This GC20008MLF2W is the size 200 unit with a 1/4 in PT port, a 5 um filter element (code W, finer than the 40 um standard), a manual drain on the filter bowl, a low-pressure type regulator, and an embedded square gauge scaled in psi. The polycarbonate bowls suit the non-freezing -5 to 70 C operating range, a mounting bracket is included, and maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and options across thread type (PT standard, G and NPT to order), drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale, and reverse/check valve. Published flow data appears as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the datasheet and sizing 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.

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.

Feeds filtered, regulated and lubricated air to the machine tool's pneumatic clamps, tool-change actuators and coolant-skimmer cylinders, with the 5 um element protecting the machine's finer pilot valves from particulate carryover.
Sits ahead of the valve manifold on a cartoning or wrapping line, holding a steady set pressure for consistent sealing-jaw and product-push strokes while the lubricator keeps the cylinders running smoothly through long shifts.
Prepares the air at a paint line drop: the 5 um filter trims water and fine dirt that would mar a finish, the low-pressure regulator suits low set points for air-assisted application, and the lubricator is isolated to the tool circuit where oil is wanted.
Start with the port size: this unit steps at 1/4 in PT on the size 200 body, and the right step depends on the air demand of the circuit it feeds - we can check that against the published flow curves before you order. The 5 um element here is the finer of the two published grades (40 um standard, 5 um optional), the choice for air that feeds finer valves, cylinders or instruments. The manual drain means someone opens the bowl drain during checks rather than relying on an automatic or differential-pressure arrangement. The low-pressure type regulator is intended for circuits set below the standard regulator's range; the exact adjustment window for this low-pressure configuration is not published as a single figure, so ask us to confirm it. The embedded square gauge reads in psi, with round external gauges and MPa or bar scales available as options. PT is the standard thread; G (BSPP) and NPT are catalogue options to order. A mounting bracket is included.
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 there is no one figure we can honestly quote. Tell us your line pressure and the air demand of the equipment you are feeding, and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves on request before you order.
Manual drain (code M) means the accumulated water in the filter bowl is drained by hand during routine checks, instead of an automatic or differential-pressure drain doing it for you. The W code selects the finer 5 um element rather than the 40 um standard. The L code makes this the low-pressure type regulator, intended for circuits set below the standard range; the exact adjustment window for the low-pressure configuration is not published as a single figure, so we confirm it on request.
