The GRACO 560596 is a short tie rod specifically designed for use with Trabon® MGO Divider Valves, facilitating the assembly of 8-section divider valve configurations. It is a critical hardware component, typically made from steel, that ensures structural integrity and proper alignment of divider valve sections within lubrication systems.

Key Features:

• Tie Rod
• Short, for 8-section MGO Divider Valve
• Steel (assumed, not explicitly stated; typical for tie rods)
• For use with Trabon® MGO Divider Valves
• Essential for assembling 8-section divider valve configurations
• Ensures structural integrity and alignment of valve sections
• Requires 2 short and 2 long tie rods per assembly (as per product description)

Applications:
In-plant machinery lubrication systems, particularly where modular divider valves are used to distribute lubricant to multiple points efficiently.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO tie rods ensures proper fit, alignment, and reliability of the divider valve assembly, reducing the risk of leaks or misalignment.
• Always use the specified number of short and long tie rods as required for the divider valve configuration (for 8-section: 2 short and 2 long tie rods per assembly)
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications for tie rod nuts and other fasteners to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening
• Inspect tie rods for damage or wear before installation
• Ensure all divider valve sections are properly aligned before tightening tie rods
• Regularly inspect tie rods and divider valve assemblies for signs of wear or misalignment
• Replace tie rods if they show signs of corrosion, bending, or thread damage
• Use only genuine GRACO replacement parts for optimal performance and safety
