Installation Notes
When installing the 114109 swivel elbow:
- Ensure your system uses ¼″ O.D. tubing and compatible female fittings.
- Use appropriate thread sealant or tape on the ¼″ NPT male threads to prevent leaks.
- Tighten the swivel portion only enough to orient the tubing; avoid over-torquing, as the swivel is designed for free rotation.
- Periodically inspect for wear, especially in systems exposed to vibration or frequent reorientation.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Graco 114109 is built for high-pressure systems commonly used in plural-component and airless spraying. While Graco does not always publish a specific pressure rating for this part in every manual, its use in proportioners and 6000+ psi assemblies suggests it's suitable for very demanding fluid-handling applications.
Yes — as long as the tubing is ¼″ O.D. and rated for your system’s pressure. Many Graco systems use nylon or polyurethane tubing, and this swivel is commonly used in such setups.
Maintenance is straightforward. You can unscrew the swivel collar (with a wrench) to access internal O-rings for inspection or replacement. Use compatible grease when reassembling, and avoid over-tightening to preserve the swivel action.
