The GRACO 18A049 is a Vee piston packing made from blue UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), designed to provide a reliable seal for pistons in GRACO fluid handling and spray equipment. Its primary function is to prevent leakage and maintain pressure within the pump assembly.

Key Features:

• Vee piston packing
• 18A049
• UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), blue
• Compatible with various GRACO pump models, including those referenced in GRACO pump repair manuals (e.g., 695 XT Standard, 795 XT Standard, and others)
• High wear resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Reliable sealing performance
• Designed for easy maintenance and replacement

Applications:
Used in GRACO displacement pumps and spray equipment for sealing pistons, ensuring efficient and leak-free operation in industrial, agricultural, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, longevity, and safety of the equipment. Non-genuine parts may compromise seal integrity and equipment reliability.
• Ensure the pump is depressurized and isolated before installation
• Clean the piston and packing area thoroughly before fitting the new packing
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation sequence and torque specifications
• Inspect for wear or damage to adjacent components during replacement
• Regularly inspect packing for wear and replace as needed
• Use only compatible lubricants and cleaning agents
• Keep spare packings on hand for quick replacement during maintenance cycles
