The GRACO 17B696 is a plate with a hose barb, designed for use in GRACO equipment such as peristaltic pumps. It serves as a critical connection point for hoses, ensuring secure and reliable fluid transfer. The material is not specified, but it is engineered for heavy-duty performance and seamless integration with GRACO systems.

Key Features:

• Plate, Hose Barb
• NG4 (also referenced as I32, H32 in some listings)
• Compatible with GRACO peristaltic pumps (e.g., ST series, including ST30, ST26, ST25, ST23, ST10, ST6)
• Engineered for seamless integration with GRACO equipment
• Designed for reliable and secure hose connection
• Heavy-duty performance
• Critical for maintaining system integrity and preventing leaks

Applications:
Used in GRACO peristaltic pump systems for secure hose attachment and fluid transfer in industrial lubrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with GRACO equipment, reducing the risk of leaks and downtime.
• Orient the hose clamp so it aligns with the recessed cavity in the pump housing
• Slide the hose clamp over the hose, then slide on the barb assembly
• Tighten the clamp to the specified torque (e.g., 25 ft-lb plus one full turn, or until flush with the outer hose diameter)
• Push the hose and clamp into the pump housing
• Attach the hose barb assembly to the pump using nuts, torquing to the value specified for your pump model (e.g., 8 ft-lb for ST6, ST10, ST23, ST25; 18 ft-lb for ST26, ST30)
• Loop the hose 360 degrees and insert the second end through the opposite side port, repeating installation steps as needed
• Move the roller as required for hose installation, following pump-specific instructions
• Regularly inspect hose connections for leaks or wear
• Use only genuine GRACO replacement parts for repairs
• Follow manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules
