The GRACO 186987 is a male gland packing component, constructed from stainless steel, designed for use in GRACO severe-duty, PTFE-packed stainless steel displacement pumps. It functions as a critical sealing element within the pump assembly, ensuring reliable performance and leak prevention during the transfer or dispensing of low viscosity sealants and adhesives in professional settings.

Key Features:

• Gland, throat, male
• Stainless steel
• GRACO severe-duty, PTFE-packed stainless steel displacement pumps (e.g., Model 15G976)
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Designed for use in professional, severe-duty applications
• Critical sealing component for pump reliability

Applications:
Used in GRACO severe-duty, PTFE-packed stainless steel displacement pumps for transferring or dispensing low viscosity sealants and adhesives in industrial and professional environments.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity of the equipment. Non-genuine parts may compromise seal integrity and equipment reliability.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and maintenance
• Ensure the pump is depressurized and isolated before servicing
• Inspect the gland and surrounding components for wear or damage during installation
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment when handling stainless steel components
• Regularly inspect and replace gland packing as part of preventive maintenance
• Keep the gland area clean and free from debris
• Consult the equipment manual for specific torque and installation procedures
