Frequently Asked Questions
The intake valve is a critical fluid control component that regulates the flow of material into the pump assembly. It opens to allow material to enter the pump chamber during the intake stroke and closes to prevent backflow during the pressure stroke. A faulty intake valve can cause poor priming, loss of pressure, and inconsistent material flow.
Yes. It is recommended to replace the associated O-rings, seals, and inspect/replace the valve seat if applicable. Also check and clean the intake filter and screen. Using new seals with the new valve ensures a proper seal and prevents immediate leakage.
Signs include difficulty priming the pump, loss of pressure, visible leaks at the valve, material dripping back into the bucket when the gun is triggered, or the valve being stuck open or closed. Poor spray performance can also indicate valve issues.
This is a premium aftermarket replacement part (Bedford 58-2012) designed to match the exact specifications and performance of the genuine Graco part (221098). It provides identical fit and function at a lower cost.
