The GRACO 116702 is a straight adapter fitting designed to connect 1/4 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male threads to a 7/8-14 JIC (Joint Industry Council) male fitting. It is typically constructed from durable metal to withstand industrial environments and is intended for use in fluid handling systems, such as those found in lubrication, dispensing, and maintenance equipment. Its primary function is to provide a secure and leak-free connection between different hose or pipe standards within GRACO equipment.

Key Features:

• Straight adapter
• 1/4 NPT x 7/8-14 JIC
• Up to 5000 psi (34.5 MPa, 345 bar) in compatible systems
• Fits GRACO hoses and equipment requiring 1/4 NPT to 7/8-14 JIC connections; compatible with hose numbers 115875, 115876, 115877, 115878, 115879
• Provides a secure, leak-free connection between different thread standards
• Designed for industrial durability and reliability
• Ease of installation and maintenance

Applications:
Used in fluid handling, lubrication, and maintenance systems where conversion between 1/4 NPT and 7/8-14 JIC fittings is required. Commonly found in commercial, industrial, and agricultural equipment for moving, measuring, controlling, dispensing, and applying fluids and viscous materials.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO adapters ensures compatibility, reliability, and safety in high-pressure and industrial applications.
• Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation
• Use appropriate thread sealant or tape as recommended for the application
• Tighten fittings to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications
• Inspect for leaks after installation and during routine maintenance
• Regularly inspect for wear, corrosion, or damage
• Replace if any signs of leakage or thread damage are observed
• Follow GRACO equipment maintenance schedules
