The material is not specified in available sources.
Key Features:
Exhaust Manifold
XL
Compatible with GRACO XL series air motors and designed to fit standard heavy-duty Xtreme carts. Accepts the same M16x2.0 threaded tie rods, connecting rods, and 3/8-16 mounting studs as the Premier motor, but is physically smaller and features a 1 in. air inlet at a low front position.
Larger than Premier air handling parts to exhaust increased air volume
Compact design fits where Premier motors are used
Threaded cart/shelf type mounting holes compatible with NXT® motors
External pilot lines for cold weather operation
Poppets are fully accessible and easily replaceable
Applications: Used in GRACO air motor systems for moving, measuring, controlling, dispensing, and applying a wide range of fluids and viscous materials in commercial and industrial settings.
