The GRACO 557516 is a tie rod specifically designed for assembling the Trabon® MJ Series-Flo Divider Valve, which is a compact, modular divider block used in centralized lubrication systems. The tie rod is constructed from plated steel and is essential for securely joining multiple valve sections together, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features:

• Tie Rod for Divider Valve Assembly
• MJ Series, 4 Section (3 required per assembly, but this part is for 4 sections; note: product documentation may specify 3 rods for some assemblies, but this part is labeled for 4 sections)
• Plated Steel
• Compatible with Trabon® MJ Series-Flo Divider Valves
• Essential for modular assembly of divider valve sections
• Durable plated steel construction for long service life
• Enables secure and stable connection of multiple valve sections
• Supports up to 16 lube points per manifold

Applications:
Used in centralized lubrication systems for on-road vehicles, off-road equipment, and in-plant machinery. Suitable for applications requiring precise, reliable delivery of oil or grease up to NLGI Grade #1.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO tie rods ensures proper fit, assembly integrity, and reliable performance of the divider valve system.
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications for tie rod nuts (typically 12 ft-lbs for MJ Series)
• Ensure all valve sections are aligned before tightening tie rods
• Inspect tie rods for damage or wear before installation
• Use only compatible valve sections and accessories for assembly
• Regularly inspect tie rods and valve assembly for signs of wear or loosening
• Retorque tie rod nuts as needed to maintain assembly integrity
• Replace tie rods if damaged or excessively worn
