The AirTAC GC40010LC2W AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, PT3/8, 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 PT3/8" ports, a 5 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The GC40010LC2W is an AirTAC GC-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled as one set. This size 400 unit carries 3/8 in PT ports and is configured as the low-pressure regulator type, so it suits circuits where the downstream working pressure must sit well below full line pressure. The filter element is the fine 5 um grade (the standard element is 40 um, so this code selects the finer option), the bowls drain by differential pressure, and the regulator carries a round external gauge with a psi scale. A mounting bracket is included.
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 each position in the code can be specified differently: filter grade, drain type, gauge style and scale (MPa, psi or bar), thread form (PT standard, with G and NPT as order options) and reverse/check valve. Published flow data appears as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures for your application before you order.

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: GF400-10 filter, GR400-10 regulator and GL400-10 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.

Feeding filtered, regulated and lubricated air to machining-centre tool changers and clamping fixtures, where the low-pressure regulator holds a reduced working pressure for the machine's actuation circuits.
Supplying the pneumatic cylinders on carton formers, sealers and case packers, with the 5 um element protecting directional valves and the lubricator keeping cylinder seals running smoothly.
Conditioning air at assembly-cell drop points for air tools and fixtures, where the low-pressure regulator type lets the station run at a reduced setting below the main header pressure.
Start with the port step: size 400 with 3/8 in PT ports sits mid-range in the GC line, and the right size depends on the air demand of the circuit - step up to size 600 for larger demand, down to 200 or 300 for compact circuits. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering. This code specifies the low-pressure regulator type; if you need the standard range instead, the same size is available without the L code. The 5 um element (code W) is the finer choice over the standard 40 um - pick it where downstream valves and cylinders need cleaner air. Drain is differential-pressure by default; automatic (A) or manual (M) drains can be ordered. Gauge here is the external round type on a psi scale; embedded square gauges and MPa or bar scales are alternatives. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT as catalogue options, and the 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 GR400-10 regulator with a GF400-10 filter on that branch.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Tell us your line pressure and the air demand of your circuit, and we will confirm the datasheet flow curves for this size 400 unit against your application before you order.
Both come straight from the code. The W at the end selects the fine 5 um element instead of the standard 40 um, which suits circuits with sensitive valves and cylinders. The C2 in the code selects the external round gauge on a psi scale; embedded square gauges and MPa or bar scales are available as alternatives.
