The GRACO 690226 is a rod bearing designed for use in metering valve assemblies. It is typically constructed from durable materials such as hardened steel or engineered polymers to withstand the mechanical stresses within GRACO metering valve systems. Its primary function is to support and guide the metering rod, ensuring smooth and precise movement during material dispensing operations.

Key Features:

• Bearing, Rod
• 1/2"
• Compatible with GRACO metering valve assemblies, especially those requiring a 1/2" rod bearing
• Supports and guides metering rod for smooth operation
• Designed for durability and reliability in high-use environments
• Ease of maintenance when part of a rebuildable valve assembly

Applications:
Used in GRACO metering valve systems for precise dispensing of fluids, sealants, or adhesives in industrial and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, longevity, and compatibility with GRACO equipment, reducing the risk of premature failure or system downtime.
• Ensure the valve assembly is clean and free of debris before installation
• Follow GRACO’s recommended rebuild procedures for metering valve assemblies
• Lubricate bearing surfaces as specified in the manual to reduce wear and ensure smooth operation
• Check for proper alignment of the metering rod and bearing during installation
• Regularly inspect the bearing for signs of wear or damage
• Replace the bearing as part of routine maintenance or during valve rebuilds
• Use only GRACO-approved parts and lubricants
