The GRACO 167493 is a valve plate designed for use in GRACO positive displacement pumps, such as the SaniForce™ 12:1 Sanitary Pumps. Its main material is not explicitly specified in available sources, but typical wetted parts for these pumps are made from 316 stainless steel, Buna-N, polychloroprene, nitrile, or nylon. The valve plate functions as a critical sealing and flow control component within the pump assembly.

Key Features:

• Plate, Valve
• GRACO positive displacement pumps, e.g., SaniForce™ 12:1 Sanitary Pumps
• Critical sealing and flow control component
• Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance in sanitary pump applications

Applications:
Used in GRACO positive displacement pumps for sanitary and industrial fluid transfer applications, including food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with GRACO equipment.
• Ensure pump is depressurized and isolated before installation
• Inspect valve plate and mating surfaces for wear or damage
• Follow manufacturer’s torque specifications and assembly procedures
• Use appropriate gaskets or seals as required
• Regularly inspect valve plate for wear or damage
• Replace as part of routine maintenance or when performance issues arise
• Keep spare parts on hand to minimize downtime
