The AirTAC GC20008MLF2G AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, G1/4, 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 40 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GC20008MLF2G is a three-piece F.R.L. combination unit that conditions compressed air in one assembly: a filter removes water and particulate down to 40 um, a low-pressure regulator sets downstream pressure, and a lubricator adds oil mist for downstream air tools and cylinders. This unit is built in the GC200 size with a G1/4 (1/4 in) port and G thread. The filter bowl is polycarbonate (PC) with a manual drain, so condensate is emptied by hand - a good fit where automatic draining is not wanted. The regulator is the low-pressure type and is fitted with an embedded square gauge scaled in psi; an external round gauge is optional. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC series is available in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with matching port sizes, and options include drain type, 5 um filtration (code W), gauge scale, thread (PT standard; G and NPT are order options) and a reverse/check valve. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to 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.

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 cylinders and actuators on a carton-forming or wrapping line, with the manual drain emptied during scheduled changeover.
Conditions the air feeding a small bench pneumatic press or clamping fixture, where the low-pressure regulator suits circuits that run at reduced setpoints and the psi gauge gives a clear local readout.
Supplies the air cylinders that raise diverters, gates and stoppers on a conveyor line, keeping water and 40 um-scale particulate out of the valves while oil mist lubricates the cylinders.
Start with size and port: the GC200 carries a 1/4 in port, and stepping up to GC300, GC400 or GC600 gives larger ports and more flow - size against the air demand of the machine, not just the pipe thread. Drain choice matters: this unit has a manual drain, so plan a routine drain check; automatic and differential-pressure drains are available elsewhere in the series. Filtration is 40 um standard; choose the W code for 5 um where finer protection is needed. The gauge here is the embedded square type scaled in psi; MPa or bar scales and an external round gauge can be specified. Thread is G (BSPP) on this unit; PT is the standard series thread and NPT is also an order option. A mounting bracket is included, and the regulator is the low-pressure type - its exact adjustment range is not published in the catalogue, so confirm it with us before ordering. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so 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 rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a rated flow, Cv or SCFM number. Tell us your application and required air demand and we will confirm the flow figures from the datasheet on request.
The M in the model code specifies a manual drain on the filter bowl: condensate is emptied by hand, which suits installations already covered by a maintenance routine. If you prefer the bowl to discharge without operator action, the GC series is also available with automatic or differential-pressure drains - ask us for the equivalent model code.
