The GRACO 166169 ROD, AIR PISTON is a replacement piston rod designed for use in GRACO air-operated pumps and related equipment. Its material is not explicitly specified in available documentation, but piston rods in similar industrial applications are typically made from hardened steel or stainless steel for durability and resistance to wear. This part is intended to transmit force from the air piston to the pump mechanism, ensuring reliable operation of the fluid transfer system.

Key Features:

• Air piston rod
• Designed for use in GRACO air-operated pumps (specific models not listed)
• Engineered for durability and long service life
• Designed for easy replacement and maintenance
• Critical for reliable pump operation

Applications:
Used in GRACO air-operated pumps for transferring fluids such as inks, paints, lubricants, and other industrial liquids. Suitable for applications requiring consistent and reliable fluid delivery in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity of the equipment. Non-genuine parts may compromise pump reliability and safety.
• Always refer to the specific GRACO pump manual for installation instructions
• Use appropriate tools and follow torque specifications
• Inspect the rod and surrounding components for wear or damage before installation
• Ensure proper alignment during installation to prevent premature wear
• Regularly inspect the piston rod for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage
• Lubricate as recommended by the equipment manual
• Replace the rod at the first sign of excessive wear or damage to prevent pump failure
