Description
The Bedford 18-4482 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 184231 and 184-231, an upper male gland for Graco spray equipment. The male gland is the nose-profiled ring that nests into the V-packing stack in the pump’s fluid section; paired with its female counterpart it keeps the packings compressed so they seal around the piston rod under pressure. Compatible with Graco Dura-Flow 1800 (430 cc).
Common reasons for replacement:
- 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
- Grooving or corrosion on the gland face after long service
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance.
