The AirTAC GC400C15ALC2W AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, PT1/2, 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 See datasheet ports, a 40 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 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 air-treatment set for compressed air. This GC400C15ALC2W is built on the size 400 body with a PT1/2 (1/2 in) PT thread port. The filter stage carries the fine 5 um element (code W) with an automatic drain, so collected condensate is expelled without manual attention. The regulator is the low-pressure type, and a round external gauge with a psi scale is fitted so the set downstream pressure can be read directly. The filter bowl on this size 400 unit is PC (polycarbonate). 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 family spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with port sizes from 1/8 in up to 1 in, a choice of PT, G (BSPP) or NPT thread, differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, 40 um standard or 5 um fine filtration, gauge style and scale options, and an optional reverse/check valve. Flow is published in the catalogue as curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the flow and datasheet 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. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). 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-C1 filter, GR400-C1 regulator and GL400-C1 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.

Installed at the drop from a factory air main to condition the supply for a production cell: water and 5 um particulate removed, pressure held at the set point, and oil mist carried to the downstream tools and actuators.
Feeding the pneumatic cylinders and grippers on a packaging or conveyor line, where the automatic drain keeps condensate off the valves during continuous runs and the psi gauge lets technicians verify set pressure at a glance.
Conditioning compressed air for lab benches and test rigs that need cleaner, finely filtered air (5 um), stable low-range regulated pressure and a readable psi gauge, with lubrication available for air-driven fixtures.
Start with size and port: the 400 size with its PT1/2 port suits lines plumbed at 1/2 in, and larger sizes carry larger ports and more flow - match the step to the demand of the circuit rather than oversizing blindly. Choose the drain to suit access: automatic (as here) suits units mounted where manual draining is awkward; manual suits attended installations; differential-pressure is the default. Choose the element grade: 40 um is standard for general protection, while the 5 um (W) fitted here gives finer particulate removal ahead of sensitive valves and cylinders. Gauge style and scale are selectable (embedded square or external round; MPa, psi or bar - this unit has a round psi gauge). Thread is PT as standard with G (BSPP) and NPT as order options, and a mounting bracket is included. Note that this is the low-pressure regulator type; its exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm it with us. Because flow is published as curves and not a single rating, ask us to check the curves 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 GR400-C1 regulator with a GF400-C1 filter on that branch.
AirTAC publishes flow for this series as curves, not as a single rated number, so we do not quote a l/min, m3/h or SCFM figure. Tell us your application and we will confirm the relevant flow and datasheet figures on request before you order.
The A in the code sets an automatic drain, so condensate is expelled without manual draining, and the W sets the fine 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard. This is the low-pressure regulator type (L); its exact adjustment range is not published, so confirm the range with us on request. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
