Overview of the Graco 109304 V-Packing
The 109304 V-Packing (PTFE) is a genuine Graco sealing component designed for use in displacement pump assemblies. This part functions as a throat packing (i.e., sealing the displacement rod area) and is made of high-quality PTFE material, offering excellent chemical resistance and durability.
Key Features
- Material: **PTFE** (Polytetrafluoroethylene) for superior sealing life.
- Application: The throat packing in a displacement pump stack.
- Installation orientation: For the throat packings, the lips face down.
Compatible Machines
The following pump and equipment models are known to use part number 109304 in their packing stack. Always verify the displacement pump model and series before ordering.
- Displacement Pump: **236897, Series A** (when fitted with Packing Kit 237173)
Note: While documentation specifically lists pump model 236897 with Kit 237173, this packing may also apply to other Graco displacement pump variants using PTFE throat packings. Confirm by checking your pump’s parts list or manual.
Installation Notes & Maintenance
| Step | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Depressurize | Before disassembly, relieve air and fluid pressure per pump manual. |
| 2. Packing orientation | Install throat V-packing with lips face down; piston packings (if replacing) face up. |
| 3. Lubrication | Lightly coat packing and gland surfaces with compatible lubricant to ease break-in. |
| 4. Re-assemble and test | Re-assemble pump, restore pressure slowly and observe for bypass or leakage. |
| 5. Replacement interval | Replace when you observe creeping pressure, fluid bypass at the wet-cup, or loss of pump prime. |
