Description
The Bedford 9-3126 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 111-453 and 111453, a ceramic ball for Graco spray equipment. This ceramic ball is the moving element of a check valve in the pump’s fluid section: on each stroke it lifts off its seat to let coating through, then reseats to hold pressure. Ceramic shrugs off corrosion and abrasion, which makes it a common upgrade path for waterborne and aggressive materials. Compatible with Graco GMAX 5900 Ironman (2014+), Graco GMAX II 3900 (2014+), Graco GMAX II 5900 (2014+), Graco Mark IV, Graco Mark IV TexSpray, Graco TexSpray 5900 HD (2014+) and other compatible equipment.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Pitting or scoring from abrasive coatings
- Replaced together with its seat during a fluid-section rebuild
- Sprayer loses prime or pressure as the ball wears out-of-round
- Fluid backflow from a ball that no longer seats cleanly
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance.
