For professionals seeking reliable graco spray equipment in a compact, entry-level package, the Graco 290 PC Classic Electric Airless Sprayer delivers powerful performance with maximum portability. This high-quality setup is built to handle primers, enamels, lacquers, and latex coatings up to 0.45 GPM at 3,300 psi—perfectly balancing portability for residential projects and efficiency for commercial jobs.

Why Choose the 290 PC?

• Power Meets Portability: With a 0.625 hp brush motor and weighing just 17 kg (37 lb), it’s easy to transport across job sites, ladders, or backyards 

• ProConnect Quick-Change Pump System: Swapping the pump assembly takes under a minute—no tools or pins—letting you keep spraying while swapping in a graco replacement pump from the parts bin.

• Durability for Daily Use: Rugged steel frame with chrome plating, a rubber-padded handle, and swivel inlet all ensure day-in, day-out reliability.

• Smart Pressure Control: Users can precisely adjust output and memorize settings for repeatability across similar jobs.

These features position it as an approachable complement to larger models like the graco 395 airless paint sprayer.

Proven Endurance Pump Technology

Built-in reliability is key to the 290 PC’s success:

• Endurance Chromex Pump: Constructed with long-lasting V‑Max Blue packings, pistons, and hardened cylinders, it keeps the ultrastable 3,300 psi rating 

• Easy-Out Suction Filter: Dirt-resistant, cleanable design avoids clogs that damage sprayer parts.

• Pump Interchangeability: The graco replacement pump shares parts across the Classic series, including the 395, 495, and even graco magnum x5 parts used in heavy-duty units.

Effortless pump swap-outs keep downtime to a minimum, especially for long shifts or back-to-back projects.

Shared Parts Across Series

Maximize efficiency by stocking shared spares:

• Pump Components: The 290’s Endurance pump mirrors those in the 395 and 495 Classic models.

• Sprayer Accessories: Hoses, filters, o‑rings, and pistons are universally compatible across the Classic family.

• Magnum Compatibility: Many parts overlap with graco magnum x5 parts and graco magnum x7 parts, offering backup options for rental fleets or mixed equipment usage.

You can leverage common inventory across electric and mid-volume sprayers, simplifying support.
