The GRACO 116765 is a straight hydraulic adapter designed to connect NPT (National Pipe Thread) and JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings. It is typically constructed from durable metal for use in high-pressure fluid transfer systems, facilitating secure and leak-free connections between different types of hose or pipe ends in GRACO equipment.

Key Features:

• Straight hydraulic adapter
• 3/8" NPT (male) x -10 JIC (male)
• Compatible with GRACO Power-Lock Heated Hose and other GRACO fluid transfer systems
• Straight design for direct inline connection
• Robust metal construction for durability
• Facilitates secure, leak-free transitions between NPT and JIC fittings
• Ease of installation and maintenance

Applications:
Used in GRACO fluid transfer and spray equipment for connecting hoses or pipes with different end types, commonly found in industrial lubrication, painting, and maintenance systems.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO adapters ensures compatibility, reliability, and safety in high-pressure fluid transfer applications.
• Use two wrenches to tighten fittings—one to hold the adapter and one to tighten the hose or pipe—to prevent twisting and damage.
• Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation.
• Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to NPT threads as needed.
• Check for leaks after installation and during system operation.
