Frequently Asked Questions
This 100400 Ball, Metallic is confirmed for specific Graco Fire-Ball pump families (listed above). For any paint sprayer or texture machine, confirm by checking that model’s parts manual—look for part number 100400 in the check-valve/ball listing before purchase.
Common signs include difficulty priming, pressure loss at rest, pulsation, or inconsistent flow. Inspect the ball for flat spots, pitting, or contamination preventing full seating.
It’s good practice to inspect the mating seat/cage. A damaged seat may prevent proper sealing even with a new ball. Replace associated components if wear or scoring is present.
Keep components clean, verify orientation per the service manual, and torque hardware to spec. Avoid abrasives; debris can cause premature wear or prevent proper seating.
