The GRACO Air Side Diaphragm Plate is a critical component used in GRACO air-operated diaphragm pumps. It is typically constructed from durable materials such as metal or engineered plastics, designed to interface with the diaphragm and diaphragm shaft assembly. Its primary function is to provide a secure mounting surface for the diaphragm, ensuring proper air distribution and reliable pump operation.

Key Features:

• Air Side Diaphragm Plate
• Designed for secure diaphragm mounting
• Facilitates proper air distribution
• Supports reliable pump operation
• Ease of maintenance and replacement

Applications:
Used in GRACO air-operated diaphragm pumps for various industrial, agricultural, and maintenance applications, including fluid transfer and lubrication systems.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and safety of the pump system.
• Assemble the air-side plate onto the diaphragm with the 'AIR SIDE' marking facing away from the diaphragm (for overmolded diaphragms) or as specified in the manual.
• Apply medium-strength (blue) thread locker to the threads of the diaphragm assembly.
• Screw the assembly into the diaphragm shaft hand tight.
• Grease the diaphragm shaft before installation to prevent damage to u-cups.
• Follow the specific assembly order as outlined in the GRACO pump manual.
• Regularly inspect the diaphragm plate and diaphragm for wear or damage.
• Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain pump efficiency and safety.
• Use only genuine GRACO replacement parts for repairs.
