The Graco 15M056 painted reservoir cover is engineered to seamlessly replace stock parts on the EH200 series, delivering unmatched resilience against corrosion and wear. Crafted from premium materials, this cover preserves the integrity of your pump assembly while supporting optimal paint flow in your airless sprayer operations, ensuring smooth application of textures and finishes across a variety of substrates. Its precision-engineered design allows for quick installation without additional modifications, ensuring you get back to work faster.
Ideal for contractors and DIY enthusiasts applying professional coatings, this reservoir cover accommodates a range of solution viscosities and improves consistency for high-volume applications. Its robust design maintains stable spray pressure, integrates seamlessly with existing high-pressure filtration systems, and simplifies routine maintenance, making it an essential upgrade for any serious finishing workflow.
The Graco 15M056 Painted Reservoir Cover is a precision-engineered component designed to optimize fluid containment and management in EH200 series high-pressure systems. Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, the painted cover safeguards internal reservoir chambers from particulate ingress while ensuring reliable pressure maintenance under heavy operational loads. Engineered for seamless integration with airless sprayer rigs, the cover’s profile has been tailored to maintain optimal fluid flow characteristics and streamline maintenance procedures in demanding industrial environments. Its external powder-coated surface delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, while the internal sealing interface maximizes contact uniformity for prolonged service cycles. The component’s robust design and finish comply with industry standards for fluid handling and mechanical durability, making it an essential element in critical fluid power applications.
In addition to its structural robustness, the cover employs a multi-layer finish system to enhance wear resistance and minimize friction with ancillary components. The exterior coating employs advanced polymer primers followed by a topcoat formulation validated for adhesion and UV stability. Internally, high-tolerance bores and counterbores maintain concentricity with the reservoir rim, facilitating uniform compression of the primary elastomeric seal and reducing torque requirements during assembly. This precision approach leverages professional coatings technology to deliver consistent surface energy parameters, ensuring optimal bonding with sealants and reducing the risk of fluid egress under cyclic load conditions.
The core substrate of the 15M056 cover is a proprietary carbon steel alloy formulated for high yield strength and ductility. Material microstructure is optimized through controlled thermal treatments to balance toughness and hardness, preventing brittle failure under impact or vibration. A passivation layer is applied prior to painting to inhibit oxidative reactions, followed by a uniform powder-coat deposition achieving a nominal thickness of 80–120 microns. This finish strategy not only extends component service life in corrosive atmospheres but also maintains dimensional tolerances within ±0.02 mm, critical for preserving seal surface flatness and preventing localized stress concentrations during high-pressure operations.
The reservoir cover’s internal geometry has been refined using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to promote laminar flow across inlet and vent passages, thereby reducing shear stress on sensitive coating materials. By integrating dedicated filtration channels at the interface, the design enhances high-pressure filtration of recirculated fluid, capturing particulate down to 20 microns. This filtration enhancement not only protects downstream pump components but also mitigates abrasive wear on internal seals. Flow port dimensions are calibrated to maintain a 1:1 ratio between suction and return rates, maximizing pump efficiency and ensuring stable pressure profiles during cyclical pump operation.
Maintenance cycles for the painted reservoir cover are simplified through a snap-on securing mechanism that eliminates specialized tools and reduces downtime. The uniform sealing flange compresses evenly, supporting consistent seal longevity across thousands of actuation cycles. Inspection windows in the assembly facilitate visual verification of paint integrity and seal condition without disassembly. Standard preventive maintenance intervals recommend periodic cleaning of vent ports and assessment of the powder-coat surface for micro-abrasions. When combined with appropriate fluid filtration and regular gasket replacement, total system life can exceed 10,000 operating hours under harsh environmental conditions.
As part of the EH200 fluid delivery architecture, the 15M056 cover interfaces directly with modular manifold blocks, pressure transducers, and control valves. Precision dowel pin alignments guarantee repeatable positioning, ensuring that mounting hardware torque specifications translate directly to predictable preload values. The painted reservoir cover dimensioning facilitates retrofitting across various pump models without additional adapters, streamlining inventory management. Integration with variable displacement pumps is particularly effective, as consistent reservoir volumes and sealing integrity contribute to improved pump efficiency by minimizing cavitation and air entrainment during high-flow demand cycles.
In industrial spray operations, the 15M056 reservoir cover is widely employed in applications ranging from architectural coating distribution to automotive assembly line painting. Its compatibility with high-viscosity fluids, including epoxies and solvent-borne systems, enables precise metering in demanding production environments. Performance metrics indicate the cover can withstand internal pressures up to 3500 PSI with no measurable deformation, while maintaining a leak rate below 0.1 cc/min under continuous operation. Temperature cycling tests between –20 °C and 80 °C demonstrate negligible dimensional drift, preserving sealing surfaces across thermal excursions. This level of performance is critical for manufacturers seeking reliable fluid control in processes such as heavy equipment painting, anticorrosive treatment, and precision lubrication systems.
