What this part is
The Graco 101917 (Ball Bearing, 7/8″ Dia., 304SS) is the precision check-ball used in the pump’s lower valve/seat assembly. In operation, it seals one direction of flow to maintain prime, suction, and smooth cycling. Constructed from 304 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance in typical coatings transfer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
It acts as a one-way valve element. When seated properly against the valve seat, the 7/8″ 304SS ball prevents backflow, preserving suction/prime and stabilizing the pump’s stroke consistency.
Check your pump’s parts diagram for the lower valve assembly. Look for a 7/8″ ball listed as 101917 and ensure your pump is a Series B configuration (common on T1/T3 transfer pumps).
Yes. 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for typical coatings transfer environments, while maintaining precise roundness for a positive seal on the seat.
Loss of prime, cavitation, inconsistent cycling, or visible wear/flat spots on the ball. Replace the ball and inspect the seat and seals at the same time.
Yes. Inspect the ball seat, O-rings, and lower-valve seals. Replacing these together can restore sealing performance and extend service intervals.
