Frequently Asked Questions

Possibly. This is a large-frame inlet strainer used on select gas/hydraulic rigs. Check your unit’s parts manual for the inlet strainer part number and NPT size. If your manual lists 237840 (or shows the same inlet strainer spec), you’re good to go.

Inspect the screen daily in heavy use or when spraying high-solids materials. Clean whenever flow drops, pump surges, or the spray pattern tails. Keeping the screen clear extends pump and tip life.

Follow your sprayer’s manual. Many NPT connections use thread sealant or PTFE tape, but always apply per Graco guidance to avoid introducing leaks or air into the suction side.

Pulsing, cavitation sounds, weak or inconsistent pattern, and frequent tip clogs often point to a restricted or damaged strainer. Clean or replace as needed.

Yes—the kit features an SST (stainless steel) cap. It’s designed for demanding applications; still, always flush and maintain per material supplier and Graco recommendations.
