$12.63Engineered for precision fluid control and unparalleled durability, Graco 188494 SpreaderU-Cup represents the next generation of spray equipment accessories. Its robust design prioritizes consistent material flow, ensuring flawless finishes across an extensive range of coatings. By optimizing internal geometry and pressure retention, this cup assembly reduces downtime and material waste. Suitable for automotive refinishing, industrial coating, or high-performance architectural work, it enhances operational efficiency for professionals seeking reliable, repeatable results.
Innovative machining techniques produce internal surfaces with minimal roughness, reducing material adhesion and ensuring consistent fluid pressure at the spray tip. An enhanced sealing mechanism provides a tight closure, minimizing leaks even under high-pressure conditions. Ergonomically positioned handles facilitate safe and efficient handling, while the cup’s lid integrates a bleed valve for rapid pressure release. These design refinements empower operators to maintain control over every stage of the spraying process, from initial startup through final solvent purge.
Simplified maintenance routines extend equipment life and minimize service calls. Compatibility with common cleaning solvents ensures stubborn coatings are removed without damaging internal threads or mating surfaces. Corrosion-resistant finishes shield against chemical attack, reducing failure points in harsh environments. For field repairs, modular components can be replaced individually, cutting repair times and lowering operational costs. Regular inspection intervals are straightforward thanks to clear part numbering and easy-access fasteners, ensuring predictable performance over thousands of cycles.
Interfacing with existing spray systems is hassle-free due to standardized mounting dimensions. Engineers designed the SpreaderU-Cup to work in harmony with pressure pot setups, spray guns, pumps and manifolds. Seamless integration with upstream equipment, including a robust graco spray hose, secures uninterrupted fluid delivery. This unified approach prevents turbulence and pressure loss even when varying tip sizes or adjusting spray patterns, contributing to optimal application consistency in both stationary and mobile setups.
Shielding spray tips from accidental impact enhances both safety and productivity. Incorporation of a graco tip guard around the nozzle helps contain overspray and guards against physical damage during transport or storage. Its snap-on design requires no tools, allowing technicians to mount or remove the guard in seconds. By protecting delicate components, it decreases the frequency of tip replacements and ensures coherent spray characteristics throughout prolonged operations in high-volume production lines.
Particle contamination dramatically affects finish quality, making filtration a vital process. This cup assembly integrates seamlessly with upstream screening solutions for pre-filtering high-viscosity coatings. Filtration is streamlined through graco filters and strainers that capture particulates before they can compromise nozzle integrity, reducing blemishes and spitting. Users benefit from a selection of filter micron ratings, enabling tailored fluid preparation based on specific coating requirements, whether applying automotive clearcoats or industrial epoxy primers.
Pressure testing under variable flow scenarios reveals negligible pulsation and steady spray fan widths, even at flow rates exceeding standard limits. When applying heavy-body sealers or quick-dry enamels, operators note impressive control over output volume and atomization quality. Transitioning between solvents and high-solid materials demands only minor pressure adjustments, streamlining productivity. End-users report smoother finishes, reduced runs and elevated consistency across multiple substrates, from metal panels to composite surfaces.
Adaptability across industry sectors makes this model indispensable. Automotive shops benefit from rapid color changes without lengthy flush procedures, while woodworking and furniture manufacturers appreciate reduced solvent consumption. Pressure regulators and accessory manifolds align perfectly, supporting single- and multi-component systems alike. Its ability to handle abrasive primers and epoxy blends opens new possibilities for maintenance contractors and refinishing specialists aiming for top-tier results in both controlled indoor booths and on-site environments.
Assembly hardware includes O-rings, gaskets and mounting adapters calibrated to factory specifications. Illustrated service manuals guide users through step-by-step installation and routine inspections. Graco’s technical support teams offer remote diagnostic assistance, parts ordering and next-day dispatch options for critical components. Training workshops and on-site consultations complement warranty coverage, empowering maintenance crews to maximize uptime and extend service intervals with confidence.
Professional painters, industrial finishers and coatings engineers can rely on the Graco 188494 SpreaderU-Cup for superior performance and resilience. Its combination of rugged materials, precision engineering and user-friendly maintenance features reduces operating costs while enhancing finish quality.
