What is 249197 (KIT, FLTR, GUN, 218131)?
Graco 249197 is a genuine OEM spray-gun filter assembly that installs in the handle of compatible Graco airless guns. It uses a 50-mesh (coarse) element to trap larger debris before the coating reaches the spray tip, helping reduce tip clogs, protect downstream components, and improve finish consistency.

Fitment Notes
- Confirm your gun model (e.g., Contractor FTx, Magnum SG2). If listed above, this kit fits.
- Gun filters and manifold filters are different parts; match by location and mesh.
- For finer finishes, consider a finer mesh (if supported by your gun). For heavy primers, 50-mesh is often appropriate.
- Replace the filter when visibly deformed, torn, or noticeably clogged to maintain a consistent spray pattern.
Quick Install (Safety First)
- Turn sprayer OFF, depressurize, engage gun trigger lock.
- Unscrew gun handle cap; remove old filter.
- Insert new 249197 filter assembly (orientation as per gun manual).
