The GRACO 16U879 is a threaded adapter fitting designed to connect 1/8 inch NPT female threads to a #6 JIC male fitting. It is typically constructed from metal and is used to facilitate secure and leak-free connections between different types of fluid handling components in GRACO spray and dispensing equipment.

Key Features:

• Adapter
• 1/8 NPT(F) #6 JIC(M)
• Compatible with GRACO spray and dispensing equipment requiring 1/8 NPT female to #6 JIC male connections
• Threaded connection for secure fit
• Facilitates transition between NPT and JIC standards
• Reliable for fluid transfer applications

Applications:
Used in fluid handling systems, particularly in spray and dispensing equipment, to connect hoses or components with differing thread standards.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance within GRACO systems.
• Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation
• Use appropriate thread sealant or tape if required for NPT connections (note: JIC fittings do not require PTFE tape)
• Tighten fittings securely to prevent leaks, but avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage
• Check for leaks after installation and during operation
