Product Description
The Graco 16H294 adapter is designed to properly angle Graco expanding-blade agitator mixers when used on drums with off-centre bung openings. This prevents the agitator blades from contacting the drum walls and ensures smooth, balanced mixing performance. It also helps reduce vortexing and improves overall mixing efficiency.
The adapter threads into the drum bung and aligns the mixer for correct blade clearance, making it a critical accessory for expanding-blade agitators used in coatings, chemicals and foam applications.
Key Features

Installation Notes
- Thread the locking ring onto the adapter before inserting into the drum bung
