The AirTAC GC20008MLC2 AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, PT1/4, Low-Pressure 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 40 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The GC20008MLC2 is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled as one coordinated set. This 200-size configuration is built for 1/4 in (PT1/4) ports with PT thread as standard, carries a 40 um filter element, and uses a manual drain on the filter bowl, so an operator drains collected water on a set service routine rather than relying on an automatic or differential-pressure drain. The regulator is the low-pressure type, and the set is fitted with an external round gauge reading in psi. The filter bowl is polycarbonate (PC), which keeps the collected water and particulate visible for inspection.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC family is available in 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with port sizes stepping up from 1/4 in to 1 in, and options include automatic or differential-pressure drains, a 5 um (W) filter element, gauge scale in MPa, psi or bar, and G (BSPP) or NPT thread variants in place of PT. Flow is published in the catalogue as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the flow and datasheet figures for this exact model against your application.

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 pneumatic cylinders and grippers on a bottling line, with the low-pressure regulator holding a gentle set pressure for delicate container handling and the manual drain cleared during scheduled line cleaning.
Supplies the air movers on a packaging conveyor's diverters, pushers and clamp cylinders: the 40 um element keeps particulate out of the valves, the lubricator carries oil mist to the cylinders, and the psi gauge gives operators a direct pressure readout at the machine.
Conditions the air feeding a lab or pilot-plant test rig where components need lubricated air at a controlled low pressure; the transparent PC bowl lets technicians see water build-up, and the manual drain suits rigs that are serviced between test runs.
Start with the size and port: the 200 size with PT1/4 ports suits lines plumbed at 1/4 in, while the 300/400/600 steps exist for larger ports and higher air demand - match the step to the flow your circuit actually needs. Because this unit is the low-pressure regulator type, it is the right pick where the working pressure you set sits in the lower band; if your process runs at conventional shop pressures, check with us before ordering. The manual drain here means someone drains the filter bowl as part of a maintenance routine - choose automatic or differential-pressure drain instead if the installation is unattended. The 40 um element is the standard grade; specify the W code for 5 um where downstream equipment calls for finer filtration. The fitted round gauge reads in psi; MPa and bar scales are available as options. PT thread is standard on this model, with G (BSPP) and NPT orderable as catalogue options, and the mounting bracket is included.
One honest note on sizing: AirTAC publishes flow for this series as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a flow figure here. Send us your application details and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet curves 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 performance curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a flow number here. Tell us your application - supply pressure, downstream consumption and acceptable pressure drop - and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet for this exact 200-size, PT1/4 configuration before you order.
The M in the model code specifies a manual drain on the filter bowl: an operator opens the drain on a set service routine to expel collected water. If the installation runs unattended or you prefer not to rely on a drain schedule, the same GC200 combination is available with automatic (code A) or differential-pressure (blank) drain - ask us for those variants.
