The GRACO 16A992 is a hose coupling designed to connect a 3/8 inch internal diameter (ID) hose to a 1/4 inch NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) threaded fitting. This part is typically used in fluid handling systems for secure and leak-resistant connections within GRACO equipment. Material is not specified in available documentation.

Key Features:

• Hose coupling
• 3/8 Hose ID x 1/4" NPSM
• Designed for use with GRACO fluid handling systems; compatible with 3/8" ID hoses and 1/4" NPSM fittings
• Provides secure, leak-resistant connection; facilitates easy installation and removal in fluid transfer applications

Applications:
Used in fluid transfer and spray finishing systems where a secure connection between a 3/8" ID hose and a 1/4" NPSM fitting is required. Commonly found in industrial, automotive, and maintenance lubrication systems.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO couplings ensures optimal performance, safety, and compatibility with GRACO equipment, reducing the risk of leaks and equipment failure.
• Ensure both hose and fitting surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Hand-tighten the coupling, then use appropriate tools to secure without over-tightening. Regularly inspect for wear or leaks.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for installation and maintenance. Replace couplings if signs of wear, corrosion, or damage are present. Use only compatible hoses and fittings.
