The AirTAC GC40010MLC2W AirTAC F.R.L. Combination 3/8 PT 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 manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The GC series is AirTAC's three-piece F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and oil-mist lubricator assembled into one conditioning station. This GC40010MLC2W is the 400 size with 3/8 in PT ports, fitted with a manual-drain filter bowl, the 5 um filter element (the W grade, finer than the 40 um standard), a low-pressure-type regulator and a round gauge scaled in psi. The bowls are polycarbonate, a mounting bracket is included, and no reverse/check valve is fitted.
It is a genuine AirTAC part, covering the 200 to 600 size range with port options from 1/8 to 1 in, drain choices (differential-pressure as the default, plus automatic and manual), 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge scale options and G or NPT thread variants. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the working temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, we confirm the datasheet 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.

|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| L | Low-pressure type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 2 | Gauge scale: psi. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |

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 a welding robot's gripper and clamp circuits on an automotive body line, with the 5 um element protecting the fine control valves.
Conditioning air for carton-former and case-sealer cylinders on a food and beverage packaging line, where the manual-drain bowl suits a station checked at every shift.
Supplying clean, pressure-controlled, lubricated air to pick-and-place modules and test-rig actuators in a laboratory automation cell running on a 3/8 in PT drops.
The decodable choices are: size (200/300/400/600) and port (1/8 to 1 in) stepped against the flow your line needs; drain type - manual here, with differential-pressure as the catalogue default and automatic available; filter grade - the 5 um W element fitted here versus the 40 um standard; gauge - the round external gauge scaled in psi is fitted, with the embedded square gauge and MPa/psi/bar scales as the catalogue options; thread - PT is standard on this unit, with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options; and the included mounting bracket. This is the low-pressure regulator type; its exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm it with us. Flow is published as curves, not a single rating - 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 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 GC400 as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number here. Send us your line pressure and air consumption and we will confirm the datasheet flow curve for this exact configuration on request.
This unit is coded M for a manual drain: the bowl is emptied by hand, which suits stations that are checked regularly. The GC400 is also available with the differential-pressure drain (the catalogue default) or an automatic drain, and the 5 um W-grade element can be swapped for the 40 um standard - ask us for the alternative codes.
