Graco 116344 Machine Screw Phillips Hex Flange

The Graco 116344 Machine Screw Phillips Hex Flange is an OEM-specified fastening screw designed for use in compatible Graco spray, pump, coating or fluid-handling equipment. It features a Phillips drive and an integrated hex-flange head that offers a broad bearing surface for secure, stable fastening of metal housings, panels, or assemblies.

Compatible Applications / Assemblies

• Graco spray-guns, pump housings, manifolds, or coating systems where 116344 is listed as the machine screw for housing/cover or structural assembly.
• Metal housings, cast components, panels or mounting assemblies in Graco fluid-handling, spray or finishing equipment requiring a robust machine-screw fastening.
• Maintenance or repair jobs where original screws are corroded, lost or stripped — replacing with OEM part ensures secure fit and correct load distribution.

Key Features & Benefits

• Phillips head drive: easy installation or removal using standard screwdriver — convenient for maintenance and repair.
• Hex-flange head: built-in wide bearing surface distributes load evenly and reduces risk of stripping, loosening or damage to housing/panel under stress or vibration.
• OEM-grade fastener: ensures correct dimensions, thread tolerances and compatibility with Graco designs — avoids misfit issues common with generic screws.
• Reliable for heavy-duty use: suitable for assemblies exposed to vibration, fluid pressure, movement — keeps housings and components securely fastened over long-term operation.

When & Why to Use / Replace

• Use when assembling or re-assembling Graco housings, pump covers or structural parts that require correct fasteners as per spec.
• Replace if existing screws are worn, stripped, corroded or missing — using the OEM 116344 ensures secure, factory-spec fastening and avoids potential leaks, mis-alignment or mechanical issues.
• Recommended during maintenance, overhaul or part replacement to retain structural integrity and reliable operation of spray/pump equipment.
