Frequently Asked Questions

The 15C989 gland forms a seal around the piston rod at the pump throat, working with the V‑packing rings to stop fluid leaks and maintain proper pressure.

Replace the gland whenever you repack the pump or if you notice leaks, reduced pressure, or signs of wear on existing packing.

While third-party glands may physically fit, using the genuine Graco 15C989 ensures optimal sealing, correct dimensions, and longer-term performance.

Installing the gland is quite straightforward if you follow Graco’s repacking procedure: remove old packing, stack new rings properly, insert the gland, and torque the nut correctly.
