What is Graco 100168 – Fitting, Nipple, Close?

Graco 100168 is a close nipple fitting—a very short, male-to-male threaded connector used to join two female-threaded ports in tight spaces. It’s designed for fluid paths where components must sit close together (minimal overall length).

Key Benefits

• Minimal length (“close”) allows connections where clearance is limited.
• Clean, rigid join between two female-threaded parts—no hose required.
• Versatile for a wide range of Graco fluid-handling assemblies.

How to Verify Fit for Your Machine

1. Open your sprayer’s parts manual and search for 100168.
2. Confirm thread specification (e.g., NPT size), material, and pressure rating meet your application.
3. Match the diagram position (between which two components) to ensure correct placement.
4. If replacing an existing nipple, compare length and threads side-by-side before installation.
