Always verify against your sprayer’s parts manual or serial-range diagram for exact fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The 243102 is for short/horizontal manifold filter housings. Tall/vertical manifolds use different caps and components.

It is commonly specified for Graco 190ES and 210ES, and used across short-manifold versions of ST/STX and Ultra 395/495/595. Always check your exact model and manifold style.

Use 60-mesh for heavier coatings (primers, latex with larger solids). For thinner materials, consider 100 or 200-mesh. Match the mesh to your spray material and tip size.

It’s typically sold as a conversion/filter kit, which includes the cap, filter support, and one filter. Contents can vary by supplier; review the listing details to confirm.

Clean the manifold cavity, seat the filter and support correctly, lightly lubricate O-rings if present, and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to manufacturer guidance only.
