Graco 15A223 Connection Ring

Graco 15A223 Connection Ring — Detailed Description

Overview

The Graco 15A223 Connection Ring is a precision-engineered retaining component that secures key internal elements within Graco fluid regulation systems. Despite its modest size, it plays a critical role in maintaining alignment and integrity of the regulator’s internal assembly.

Key Features

• Designed specifically to connect and lock internal components such as diaphragms, glands or plates in position.
• Manufactured with OEM‑grade tolerances to ensure reliable fit and repeatable performance.
• Metal construction delivers high structural integrity and resistance to wear, deformation or fatigue under cyclical loads.
• Minimal service part cost with significant impact on system reliability and longevity.

Technical Specifications

Applications & Usage Context

• Installed inside Graco fluid regulation devices to hold components such as plates, diaphragms or glands securely in place.
• Especially useful during rebuilds or maintenance when alignment shifts, wear or play could degrade regulator response or cause leakage.
• Ensures that internal geometry remains consistent under repeated load cycles, helping maintain system reliability and accuracy.

Maintenance & Installation Advice

• Inspect the connection ring at each service interval when the regulator is disassembled—look for deformation, wear marks or loss of fit.
• If the ring shows signs of any machining damage, misfit or corrosion, replace it to ensure continued alignment and avoid premature failure of other internal components.
• During reassembly, ensure the ring is seated fully in its groove or housing before tightening adjacent parts to maintain proper alignment.
• A compromised ring may allow internal play which can lead to leaks, inconsistent pressure regulation, or accelerated wear of other parts.
