The AirTAC AirTAC GFC300-08 Combination Unit (GFC30008MC1W) is a genuine G-series two-unit air-preparation set: a filter regulator that filters and regulates in one body, coupled to a lubricator. Two bodies do the work of three, with PT1/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a manual drain and regulation over 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GFC series combines a filter-regulator and a lubricator as one two-unit set, covering filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication in a single order. This GFC30008MC1W is the size 300 set with PT1/4 ports, a manual drain on the filter-regulator bowl, the fine 5 um filter element (W suffix), and an external round gauge reading in MPa. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); with this manual-drain configuration the regulator adjusts from 0.05 to 0.9 MPa (7-130 psi); operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The bowls on this size 300 set are polycarbonate (PC).
This is a genuine AirTAC part for the US market. The GFC family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in. to 1 in., ordered with your choice of drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge and scale, reverse valve, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads in place of the PT standard. Flow for the G series is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet flow data 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi). The set has no separate bracket code — the two 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 set. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GFR300-08 filter regulator and GL300-08 lubricator.
A GFC is two units because filtering and regulating share one body. A GC is three separate units — filter, regulator and lubricator. Both filter, regulate and lubricate; the GFC is the shorter assembly, the GC keeps the filter and regulator serviceable as separate bodies.

On an analytical or test-bench skid with small pilot valves and actuators, the 5 um element screens fine particulate before it reaches sensitive pilot stages, the regulator sets a stable working pressure, and the lubricator services the actuator seals.
Installed as the point-of-use supply for a machine's valve manifold, the set filters the plant air to 5 um, locks in the pressure the logic circuit was set up with, and keeps a continuous oil mist on the moving valve parts.
On a workshop test bench for commercial-vehicle air components, the unit cleans and regulates shop supply to the pressure the test procedure calls for, with the round MPa gauge giving the technician a clear reading at the panel.
Size 300 with 1/4 in. PT ports is the middle step of the G-series line-up; size the set from your measured air demand and step to size 400 (1/2 in. ports) if your flow sits near the top of the size 300 curves. The W in this code selects the 5 um element instead of the 40 um standard - the right choice when precision valves or air bearings sit downstream, with the trade-off of more frequent element checks. The manual drain suits attended installations; specify the automatic-drain code for unattended duty. The gauge is the external round type on an MPa scale (psi scale available). Threads are PT as standard; order G (BSPP) or NPT to suit your pipework. Flow is published as curves, not one rating, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream, so if any branch must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator or use a GFR300-08 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes flow for the G series as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not state a rated flow here. Send us your flow and pressure conditions and we will confirm the datasheet curves for this 1/4 in. two-unit set on request.
The standard element filters to 40 um, which suits general plant air. The W suffix in this code selects a 5 um element for downstream equipment that needs finer protection, such as precision valves or pilot circuits; the finer element should be inspected and serviced more often, and the manual drain keeps the bowl cleared.
