Graco 116463 – 3‑Way Solenoid Operated Valve
Overview
The Graco 116463 3‑Way Solenoid Operated Valve is an OEM‑grade, solenoid‑actuated valve designed for fluid‑handling or coating systems. Its 3‑way configuration provides flexible flow routing — enabling automatic switching between supply, return, or alternate flow paths, which is valuable in pump modules, coating rigs, or industrial fluid systems.

Before installing or ordering, verify in your machine’s parts diagram or service manual that it specifies a 3‑way solenoid valve — ideally part number 116463 — to ensure correct fitment and function.
Why Use This 3‑Way Solenoid Valve?
This valve is beneficial when your system needs:
- Automated switching or diversion of fluid flow — e.g. from supply to return or to alternate circuits
- Reliable, durable valve operation under varying pressure and fluid conditions
- OEM‑grade construction for long-term service life and maintenance ease
- Integration into pump, coating, or industrial fluid‑handling systems requiring precise flow control
Frequently Asked Questions
A “3‑Way” solenoid valve has three ports and can route fluid from one inlet to either of two outlets (or switch between different paths), enabling flexible flow paths or flow redirection in fluid‑handling systems. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Yes — 116463 is listed in official Graco‑supplier catalogs as “VALVE SOLENOID OP, 3‑WAY”, indicating it is a genuine OEM valve. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Use or replace this valve when your system requires automated flow switching, when the existing valve fails (leakage, slow response, or wear), or when you are upgrading to a higher‑performance or more automated fluid‑handling/dispensing system. Always ensure port configurations, pressure ratings, and fluid compatibility match before installation.
