Description
The Bedford 18-1088 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 179-988 and 179988, a gland for Graco spray equipment. Packing glands bracket the V-packing stack in the pump’s fluid section, keeping the packings compressed so they seal around the piston rod under pressure.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Grooving or corrosion on the gland face after long service
- Renewed along with new packings during a pump repack
- Fluid leaking past the packings even after tightening
- Pressure drop from a packing stack that no longer seats squarely
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance. Compatible Graco equipment models are listed in the Compatible Equipment section below, where available.
