Graco 287034 Gun Filters — 1 × 60-Mesh & 1 × 100-Mesh

The Graco 287034 is a two-pack of in-gun filters designed for Contractor and FTx series spray guns. These filters help reduce tip plugging and improve finish quality by trapping debris before it reaches the tip.

What’s in the box	Mesh rating	Typical materials	Primary use
1 × Filter	60-Mesh	Latex paints, primers, heavier coatings	Flow for thicker materials while catching larger particles
1 × Filter	100-Mesh	Stains, lacquers, thin enamels	Finer filtration for smooth finishes with thin products

Key Benefits

Helps prevent tip clogs to maintain a consistent spray pattern.
Supports better finish quality by filtering contaminants at the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

60-mesh has larger openings for thicker coatings (e.g., latex, primers). 100-mesh has finer openings for thin materials (e.g., stains, lacquers) to enhance finish smoothness.

Replace when you notice flow restriction, frequent tip clogs, or visible damage. Many pros keep spares and swap filters when changing materials or after each major job.

This two-pack is specified for Contractor / Contractor II and FTx / FTx II guns listed above. For other gun families (e.g., Contractor PC), verify the parts list for the exact filter series before ordering.

Yes—gun filters complement pump/manifold filtration. For best results, strain paint before filling, use the correct manifold filter, and install the appropriate in-gun filter.

Match filter mesh to the coating, keep lids on material, strain coatings, flush the system after use, and replace worn filters promptly.
