The GRACO 172200 is a priming piston designed for use in GRACO sanitary pumps, such as the SaniForce™ 12:1 series. It is typically constructed from materials compatible with sanitary applications, including stainless steel and elastomeric seals. Its primary function is to facilitate the priming process within the pump, ensuring efficient startup and reliable operation in fluid transfer systems.

Applications:
Used in sanitary fluid transfer applications, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries, where reliable priming and contamination-free operation are essential.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with GRACO equipment, reducing the risk of downtime and equipment failure.
• Ensure the pump is depressurized and isolated from the system before installation
• Inspect seals and O-rings for wear or damage and replace if necessary
• Follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications for assembly
• Refer to the equipment manual for detailed installation procedures
• Regularly inspect the priming piston and associated seals for wear or damage
• Replace worn or damaged components promptly to maintain pump efficiency and prevent leaks
• Use only genuine GRACO replacement parts for repairs
