The GRACO 16C298 is a hopper filter designed to fit into the bottom of a 25-gallon (95-liter) joint compound hopper, specifically for use with continuous flow pumps such as the CTPMP. It is typically constructed from durable materials suitable for drywall finishing environments. Its primary function is to prevent foreign objects from entering the pump, ensuring that excess filler compound can be reused and protecting the pump and applied surfaces from contamination.
