Why Choose the 108869 Tee Outlet Fitting?
When you invest in a genuine Graco component like the 108869 fitting, you gain several advantages:
- Fit & compatibility: The part is engineered specifically for Graco fluid systems, helping ensure correct thread sizes, material compatibility, and pressure ratings.
- System integrity: Replacing a worn or incorrect fitting with the proper OEM part helps maintain pump calibration, fluid flow balance, and reliable spray performance.
- Reduced downtime: Genuine parts minimise the risk of leaks, invalid fitting geometry or mismatched ratings that can cause service interruptions.
- Documentation & traceability: Using correct part numbers eases ordering, service records and ensures your machine remains supported by the manufacturer and authorised parts suppliers.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Before installation, depressurise the fluid circuit and lock out the machine to prevent accidental startup.
- Ensure the **thread type**, **port size**, and **material rating** of your system match the fitting’s specifications. Although the exact spec for 108869 wasn’t located publicly, all Graco fittings must meet the machine’s pressure rating. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Use thread sealant or PTFE tape only where recommended by Graco; avoid over‑torqueing to prevent thread damage or distortion of internal seals.
- After installation, run the machine at low pressure to check for leaks before returning to full service.
- During routine maintenance inspect all branch fittings for signs of wear, corrosion or thread damage and replace before failure occurs.
Frequently Asked Questions
The specific pressure rating for part number 108869 was not located in publicly‑available documentation. However, Graco’s high‑pressure fittings kits specify that fittings should meet the maximum pressure rating of the equipment they serve. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} We recommend verifying your machine’s maximum fluid pressure and confirming with your Graco parts supplier.
No — compatibility depends on the machine’s port configuration (thread size, type), material rating, and the pressure rating of the circuit. Use the “Compatible Machines” list above as a general guide and always confirm fit with your machine’s model and serial number.
Using a genuine Graco fitting (such as the 108869) helps ensure proper fit, thread tolerances, material compatibility, and pressure rating — factors that generic fittings may not guarantee. This supports optimal performance, reliability and safety of your spraying or fluid‑handling system.
