The AirTAC GC20008MLC2W AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, PT1/4, 5 um 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, a pressure regulator and an oil-mist lubricator assembled as one conditioning stack for compressed-air lines. This GC20008MLC2W is the size 200 unit with a PT1/4 (1/4 in) PT thread. The filter stage carries the fine 5 um element (code W) with a manual drain, so the bowl is emptied by opening its drain fitting rather than by an automatic mechanism. The regulator is the low-pressure type and is fitted with an external round gauge reading in psi; the lubricator adds a controlled oil mist to the downstream air. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. The bowls on this size are polycarbonate (PC), and a mounting bracket is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC family is offered in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with port sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in, and with choices of drain type, filter grade (40 um standard or 5 um), gauge style and scale, thread (PT standard, G and NPT as order options) and reverse/check valve. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing figures for your application before ordering.

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.

On a stamping or assembly press fed by 1/4 in air lines, this unit filters the supply to 5 um, holds a stable low-pressure setting for the clamping circuit, and mists oil to keep the cylinder seals and valves lubricated through long production runs.
Carton-forming and case-packing conveyors run dozens of small air cylinders. A size 200 F.R.L. at each machine's drop keeps water and fine particles out of the directional valves, regulates the supply, and carries lubricant mist to the actuators.
Loom and spinning-frame pneumatics are sensitive to water carryover. This combination conditions the machine's 1/4 in branch with 5 um filtration and manual drain-off at shift checks, while the low-pressure regulator and psi gauge suit circuits that run well below full line pressure.
Size and port step up together: 200 is the smallest of the four GC sizes (200/300/400/600), with this unit on a 1/4 in PT port - pick the step that matches the line's required flow and pipe size. Filter grade is a real choice: 40 um is the standard element, while this unit's W code specifies the finer 5 um element for cleaner air downstream. Drain type is another decodable choice: this unit is manual drain (M); automatic and differential-pressure drains are available in the family if you want the bowl emptied without operator attention. The regulator here is the low-pressure type (L) - the exact adjustment range for this variant is not published in our data, so confirm it with us if your setpoint matters. The fitted gauge is the external round type with a psi scale; embedded square gauges and MPa or bar scales are the other catalogue options. Thread is PT as standard; G (BSPP) and NPT are order options. A mounting bracket is included.
One honest note on sizing: AirTAC publishes flow for these units as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a flow figure here. Send us your line conditions and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet 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 l/min or SCFM number here. Tell us your line pressure and the air demand of your equipment, and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet before you order.
Both are read straight from the code: M is the manual-drain option, meaning the filter bowl is emptied by opening its drain fitting when needed, instead of automatically; W is the fine 5 um filter element, one step finer than the 40 um standard. If you would rather not drain by hand, the GC family is also available with automatic or differential-pressure drains.
