Graco 15A209 Lower Diaphragm Housing – OEM Regulator Base Housing
The Graco 15A209 Lower Diaphragm Housing is a robust OEM component that forms the structural base of the diaphragm chamber in Graco regulator assemblies. It provides the foundation for the diaphragm to act against, ensuring stable pressure regulation and proper sealing under high‑pressure conditions.
Product Overview
This housing is engineered to hold the diaphragm, spring plate, and packing assembly securely in place. It supports the internal geometry of the regulator so that the diaphragm movement remains controlled and stable, helping to prevent fatigue or misalignment. As a genuine Graco part, it ensures exact fitment and compatibility with Graco regulator models designed for the 15A209 component.

Installation Guidelines
Correct installation of the Graco 15A209 Lower Diaphragm Housing is essential to maintain regulator accuracy and longevity:
- Ensure the system is fully depressurized and drained before servicing.
- Disassemble the regulator to remove the existing lower housing, noting the location of the diaphragm and spring assembly.
- Inspect the diaphragm, spring plate, and packing for wear or damage before proceeding.
- Clean the mating surface of the new housing thoroughly and then install the 15A209, ensuring alignment and fitment.
- Reassemble the diaphragm, spring plate, packing, and regulator cap, torque fasteners to specification.
- Slowly repressurize the regulator and conduct a leak‑test and function check before returning to full operation.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Inspect the housing during regular maintenance or when regulator performance deteriorates.
- Check for cracks, corrosion, or deformation in the housing body or mating surfaces.
- Replace the housing if structural damage is found, to prevent misalignment or diaphragm malfunction.
- Always clean and lubricate mating surfaces and ensure correct torque on fasteners during reassembly.
