Locating Parts for Your Graco Spray Equipment

Graco spray foam equipment is among the most durable on the market. With its reputation for reliability, you can count on Graco for a long lifespan. Still, sooner or later, you will need replacement parts. Because so many contractors choose Graco spray foam equipment, there are generally parts available—which is extremely helpful if you do not have spare parts on hand when you need them.

The easiest way to get the Graco equipment parts you need is to contact the experts at Intech Equipment & Supply. With nationwide service and locations across the country, Intech Equipment & Supply can help you identify exactly what you need and get it to you quickly.

When to Replace Parts

The best time to replace parts is before they fail. When equipment breaks down on the job, it causes all sorts of problems and can be extremely costly. You might be paying for crew members to wait around while your equipment gets fixed. It might mean coming back another day and creating havoc with your schedule.

Proper maintenance and regular checks will go a long way in keeping your Graco spray foam equipment operating at peak capacity. You should check for:

• Any obvious signs of damage, like cracks, dents, or excessive wear on your spray foam machine, spray foam guns, tips, hoses, and filters.
• Leakage around seals, connections, or hoses
• Inconsistent temperatures or sudden drops in temperatures
• Unusual noises during operation
• Reduced pressure or airflow
• Inconsistent coverage or difficulty achieving finish quality

You should always adhere to Graco’s recommendations for maintenance, including the regular replacement of parts. It’s a good idea to have spare parts on hand for the items that need regular replacement.

Identifying the Correct Parts

You need to identify the right parts to ensure proper fit. Failing to use Graco-compatible parts can void your warranty and hurt performance. In some cases, it can damage your equipment.

Check your equipment manual. It will include a parts diagram and part numbers to help you search. Graco part numbers typically are six digits long. Pumps and sprayers will have metal plates with the model and serial number, but you may have to look up other parts. You can find instruction manuals and search the parts book on the Graco website as well.

If you are having trouble identifying what you need, check with the Intech Equipment & Supply team. With more than 150 years of combined experience, we can help you identify what you need and provide you with options. We have locations across different time zones, so you can get in touch with our team for extended hours.

Tips for Purchasing Replacement Parts

When it comes to purchasing Graco equipment parts, there are several factors to consider:

• Price comparison: Be wary of significantly low prices you might see online. These might be counterfeit or substandard parts.
• Warranty and return policy: Know the warranty terms for each part and what might void them. Consider the after-sales support and return options.  
• Package deals: Look for kits that include multiple related parts for better value.
• Compatibility verification: Always ensure the part matches your specific equipment model and year.
• Caution with universal parts: Be wary of so-called universal parts, as they may not provide optimal performance for your specific model.
• Upgrade compatibility: When choosing newer versions of parts, confirm they're backward compatible with your equipment.
• Equipment modifications: Consider any custom modifications you've made that might affect part compatibility.
• Bulk purchasing: For frequently replaced Graco equipment parts, see if buying in larger quantities could save money.
• Expiration dates: Check shelf life for parts that may degrade over time, especially rubber or plastic components.
• Genuine vs. aftermarket: Evaluate the trade-offs between genuine Graco parts and aftermarket alternatives in terms of performance and warranty.
• Maintenance planning: Plan ahead for known maintenance cycles to avoid rush shipping costs.

Developing a relationship with a parts supplier before you need them can help, especially if there is an urgent need. You want to know how to get replacement parts fast when equipment breaks down to reduce the impact and keep earning.
