Technical Specifications

Applications & Usage Context

• Used in Graco D‑13 series valve systems and assemblies where a properly seated valve is critical for performance reliability.
• Ideal for high‑flow, high‑pressure fluid handling systems requiring consistent sealing and minimal leakage.
• Typically replaced during routine maintenance or overhaul of pumps and spray units to restore proper valve function and fluid delivery.

Maintenance & Installation Guidelines

• Inspect the valve seat whenever the assembly is disassembled; check for scoring, erosion or deformation of the sealing surface.
• Clean the valve cavity and remove any debris before installing the new seat to avoid premature wear.
• Ensure the seat is seated fully and evenly; misalignment can lead to leaks, loss of pressure control, or increased wear.
• Use correct installation tools and follow manufacturer’s torque or seating instructions to prevent damage to the valve housing or seat.
• Replace the seat if you detect any surface wear, chip, or groove that could compromise sealing performance.
