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.

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).
- Reassemble, prime briefly, test spray, and check for leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gun filter. It installs in the spray gun handle. Manifold filters live in the sprayer body and are different parts.
50-mesh (coarse) is commonly used for many primers and standard latex/emulsion paints. For very fine finishes, a finer mesh may be preferred if your gun supports it and your coating manufacturer recommends it.
Inspect before each job. Replace when damaged or when clogging causes pressure spikes, pattern issues, or frequent tip plugging. Many pros keep spares and change per project.
Fitment is determined by the spray gun model. If your sprayer is paired with a listed gun (e.g., Magnum SG2/SG3, Contractor FTx), then the filter kit fits your setup.
Frequent tip clogs, uneven spray fan, surging pressure, or poor finish quality. Verify the mesh size suits your coating and that the filter seats correctly in the gun.
