The GRACO 16T580 Band Clamping Bead Tank is a compact, pressurized tank component designed for use in GRACO bead application systems. Its primary function is to securely hold and deliver glass beads or similar media for line marking and surface treatment applications. Material is not specified, but it is typically constructed from durable metals or engineered plastics for industrial use.

Key Features:

• Bead Tank
• 16T580
• Designed for use with GRACO pressurized bead application systems
• Compact size for easy integration into equipment
• Band clamping mechanism for secure attachment
• Lightweight (shipping weight: 1.32 lbs / 0.6 kg)
• Reliable for continuous use in industrial environments

Applications:
Used in line marking and surface treatment equipment for applying glass beads or similar media to road surfaces, parking lots, and other paved areas.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance of the bead application system.
• Ensure all pressure is released from the bead tank before installation or maintenance
• Position the bead tank according to equipment guidelines for weight distribution (if multiple tanks are used, place on the side furthest from the compressor)
• Secure the band clamp tightly to prevent leaks or movement during operation
• Regularly inspect for wear and ensure proper sealing
• Check for leaks and damage after each use
• Clean the tank and associated components to prevent clogging
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for pressure relief and system shutdown procedures
