Graco 15B990 Hopper Deflector Overview
The Graco 15B990 Hopper Deflector (also called a “guard, burp” / deflector) is a small but critical component used in Graco hopper-fed spray systems. It helps manage material flow and pressure, minimizing “burp” or splatter when pressurizing or cleaning the hopper.
Key Features

- Durable Construction: Made from molded material to withstand repeated use and high-pressure cycles.
- OEM Replacement: Genuine Graco part designed to integrate seamlessly into their hopper systems.
Benefits
- Cleaner Operation: By deflecting material during pressure changes, it reduces splatter and mess.
- Consistent Spray: A more stable flow helps maintain a consistent feed into the pump, improving spray quality.
- Less Maintenance: Helps protect other internal hopper parts by reducing the force of material ‘burping’ out.
- Cost-Effective: Inexpensive to replace, but can prevent larger issues and improve overall hopper-fed system performance.
