Graco 116252 Taptite Philips Screw #10

The Graco 116252 Taptite Philips Screw #10 is an OEM-grade thread-forming screw designed for reliable fastening in Graco spray, coating and pump equipment assemblies. Its self-threading Taptite design ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections in metal housings or cast parts — eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes.

Compatible Assemblies / Use Cases

• Graco airless sprayers, pump housings or control-box assemblies that list part # 116252 in their parts breakdown.
• Industrial spray / coating / fluid-handling rigs where secure fastening is required under pressure, vibration or repeated use — especially when assembling housings, panels or covers.

Key Features

• Thread-forming Taptite design — creates strong internal threads in metal housings without needing pre-threaded holes; gives reliable grip and resistance to loosening.
• Phillips head drive — compatible with standard tools, easy installation and removal during maintenance or repair.
• Durable alloy-steel construction — ensures strength, corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding spray/pump environments.
• OEM-spec fastener — using genuine Graco parts helps ensure proper fit, correct torque behavior, and maintains machine integrity & safety.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Use a proper Phillips screwdriver and ensure mating holes are clean before installation to avoid cross-threading.
• Do not over-tighten — Taptite screws rely on thread-forming torque; over-tightening may strip threads or damage housing.
• Inspect periodically for wear or loosening, especially in high-vibration or high-pressure assemblies — replace if threads or head are damaged.
