The AirTAC GC400C15MF2W AirTAC F.R.L. Combination, PT1/2 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 GC series is AirTAC's three-piece F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator built up as one unit, so the incoming compressed air is cleaned of water and particulate, regulated to the working pressure, and carries a fine oil mist to downstream cylinders, valves and air tools. This GC400C15MF2W is the size 400 unit with a 1/2 in PT thread, a manual-drain filter bowl in polycarbonate, the 5 um filter element (the finer of the two grades), a standard regulator with the embedded square gauge reading in psi, and the mounting bracket included. 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 offered in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600 with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in, and with choices of drain type, filter grade (40 um standard or 5 um), gauge scale (MPa, psi or bar) and G (BSPP) or NPT thread in place of the PT standard. Flow for this combination is published as characteristic curves rather than a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm the datasheet and sizing for your application.

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.

Point-of-use conditioning for a CNC machining centre: the filter removes water and swarf-laden dirt before the regulator sets the working pressure for the tool changer and clamping cylinders, and the lubricator meters oil mist to the actuated components.
Conditioning the air feeding pneumatic grippers, diverters and pushers on a carton packaging conveyor: the 5 um element protects the pilot valves, the regulator holds a steady supply pressure, and the lubricator serves the cylinders running all shift.
Conditioning the air at each drop feeding spray guns and air motors in an automotive paint booth: the 5 um grade suits finishing work, the manual-drain bowl suits a station that is checked at the start of every shift, and the regulator sets gun supply pressure.
The meaningful choices on a GC unit are all decodable from the code. Size 400 with a 1/2 in PT port sits in the middle of the 200/300/400/600 range; step a size up or down when the air demand of the downstream circuit changes, and ask us to check the published flow curves against your consumption before ordering. The M code fits the manual drain, so the filter bowl is emptied by hand on a routine; if the unit will be mounted out of reach or run unattended, choose the automatic (A) or differential-pressure (blank) drain version instead. The W code selects the 5 um element rather than the 40 um standard - take 5 um where fine pilot valves and cylinders need cleaner air, 40 um where bulk water and coarse dirt are the main concern. The square gauge on this unit reads in psi; MPa and bar scales are available. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT as order 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-C1 regulator with a GF400-C1 filter on that branch.
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC400 as characteristic curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote a number on the page. Tell us your working pressure and the air consumption of the downstream equipment and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request before you order.
M is the manual drain: the filter bowl is emptied by hand, so someone must open the drain on a routine to release collected water. If the unit will be out of reach or run unattended, order the automatic (A) or differential-pressure (blank) drain version instead. Note the regulator range differs by drain type: this manual-drain unit adjusts 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), while automatic and differential-pressure drain versions adjust 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
