The GRACO 16X771 is a tie rod, typically constructed from high-strength steel, designed to secure and stabilize components within GRACO pump assemblies. It is an essential part for maintaining structural integrity and alignment in GRACO equipment, particularly in high-pressure fluid handling systems.

Key Features:

• Tie Rod
• 14.37 in (365 mm) length, 12.09 in (307.09 mm) between shoulders
• High-strength steel (assumed, not explicitly stated)
• Compatible with GRACO High-Flo Plus 4-Ball Pumps (e.g., 3A6938A) and E-Flo DC 4-Ball Pumps (e.g., ECxx4x series)
• Essential for maintaining pump assembly stability and alignment
• Designed for heavy-duty use in industrial fluid handling equipment
• Critical for proper reassembly and torque application during maintenance

Applications:
Used in GRACO pump assemblies for industrial fluid transfer, lubrication, and maintenance systems. Suitable for large-scale mining, agriculture, and other heavy-duty applications.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO tie rods ensures proper fit, alignment, and safety in high-pressure systems, reducing the risk of equipment failure.
• Ensure proper alignment of the motor shaft to the piston rod during reassembly
• Torque tie rods to 50–60 ft-lb (68–81 N•m) as specified in the manual
• Torque coupling adapter to 90–100 ft-lb (122–135 N•m) if disassembled
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for reassembly and maintenance
