The GRACO 16H434 ROD, TIE is a tie rod component designed for use in GRACO industrial pump assemblies. Its material is not specified in available documentation, but it is engineered for structural integrity and alignment within pump systems. The intended use is to secure and align pump components, specifically in models such as the President 4-Ball Pumps (used on Models 17E228 and 17E229).

Key Features:

• Tie rod
• 16H434
• Used on GRACO President 4-Ball Pumps, Models 17E228 and 17E229
• Engineered for precise alignment and secure fastening of pump components
• Critical for maintaining pump assembly integrity
• Designed for use in industrial pump applications

Applications:
Industrial pump assemblies, specifically GRACO President 4-Ball Pumps (Models 17E228 and 17E229)

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO tie rods ensures proper fit, alignment, and safety in pump assemblies, reducing the risk of equipment failure and downtime.
• Follow the equipment manual for specific installation procedures
• Ensure all components are aligned before tightening
• Use appropriate torque settings as specified in the manual (for related components, torque may be specified—e.g., coupling nut torque is 90-100 ft-lb (122-135 N•m) for similar assemblies)
• Inspect for wear or damage before installation
• Regularly inspect tie rods for signs of wear or corrosion
• Replace if any deformation or damage is detected
• Keep installation area clean and free of debris
