The GRACO 162449 is a reducing nipple fitting designed to connect two pipes or hoses of different sizes. It is typically made from metal (exact material not specified) and is used within GRACO equipment to adapt between 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections, facilitating fluid transfer in spray systems and other industrial applications.

Key Features:

• Reducing Nipple
• 1/2 inch NPT (M) x 1/4 inch NPT (M)
• Up to 7400 PSI (as per some listings, but confirm with manufacturer for exact application)
• Compatible with GRACO equipment requiring 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch NPT adapters
• Hex design for easy installation and removal
• Compact size (Height: 1.65 inches; Length: 0.85 inch; Width: 0.85 inch)
• Reliable connection for high-pressure applications

Applications:
Used in high-pressure spray systems, lubrication systems, and other industrial fluid transfer applications where reducing pipe or hose sizes is required.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and safety in high-pressure environments.
• Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation
• Use appropriate thread sealant or tape for leak-proof connections
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing to prevent damage to threads
• Inspect regularly for leaks or wear, especially in high-pressure applications
