Why Use the OEM Spring?
Using the genuine Graco 114260 spring ensures correct spring rate, preload, and material quality. Substituting with a non-OEM spring can result in:
- Poor performance due to incorrect spring stiffness.
- Premature wear or mechanical failure in valve or pump assemblies.
- Sensitivity issues in high-precision coating systems.
Installation Tips
- Always refer to your machine’s service or parts manual to confirm the correct spring part number.
- When removing the old spring, measure its free length and coil dimensions to cross-check with the new spring.
- Inspect mating components (valve seats, needles, O-rings) when performing maintenance, and replace if worn.
- Use proper safety precautions — depressurize systems before disassembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
The 114260 spring provides a restoring (return) force in various Graco assemblies — for instance, inside valves or pump mechanisms — ensuring proper sealing, cycle timing, or compression behavior under pressure.
Not typically. Because this part is listed under “general spare parts,” it’s more commonly found in industrial or professional systems rather than consumer-grade handheld units. Always verify your equipment’s parts diagram.
Substituting a different spring is risky unless the mechanical specs (free length, wire diameter, coil count, spring rate) match exactly. Using a wrong-rate spring can affect performance, sealing, or even cause failure.
- Check your machine’s service or parts manual for the exploded diagram.
- Locate the reference number for the spring in that diagram.
- Verify that the reference matches part 114260.
- If unsure, contact a Graco authorized dealer or support with your model and serial number.
Note: This information is based on available public sources and parts-distributor listings. Because Graco does not provide a publicly accessible list of all models using part 114260, it’s recommended to double-check with your specific machine’s documentation or Graco support before ordering.
