The GRACO U60338 is a valve assembly consisting of a spool and sleeve designed for use in the PD44 Metering Valve system. It is typically constructed from durable materials such as metal or engineered plastics, depending on the specific sleeve type. This assembly is intended to control and meter the flow of two-component materials (such as epoxies, urethanes, or silicones) within GRACO dispensing equipment, ensuring precise mixing and dispensing.

Key Features:

• Valve Assembly (Spool/Sleeve)
• PD44, LH (Left Hand configuration, if applicable; otherwise, standard PD44 sizing)
• Metal or plastic sleeve options (depending on application and pressure requirements)
• Up to 1200 psi (metal sleeves) or 400 psi (plastic sleeves) inlet pressure; up to 2000 psi outlet fluid working pressure
• Compatible with GRACO PD44 Metering Valve systems for two-component dispensing
• Balanced inlet/outlet spool assemblies for precise material control
• Rod positive displacement metering for accurate shot size and mix ratio
• Designed for easy maintenance and cleaning
• Reliable operation with minimal downtime
• Suitable for high cycle rates (up to 60 cycles per minute depending on model)

Applications:
Used in industrial and manufacturing environments for the accurate dispensing and mixing of two-component materials such as epoxies, urethanes, silicones, and reactive resins. Commonly applied in assembly, sealing, potting, and encapsulation processes.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with existing equipment. Non-genuine parts may compromise system integrity and safety.
• Ensure the valve assembly is compatible with the specific PD44 model and application requirements.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures as outlined in the equipment manual.
• Inspect all seals and connections before installation to prevent leaks and ensure proper function.
• Regularly maintain and clean the valve assembly to prevent material buildup and ensure consistent performance.
• Refer to the PD44 Metering Valves and Feed Systems Operation and Maintenance manual for detailed instructions.
• Use only recommended tools and replacement parts during installation and maintenance.
• Monitor system pressure and cycle rates to avoid exceeding specified limits.
