Frequently Asked Questions
The piston rod is a critical pump component that connects the drive mechanism to the piston. It moves back and forth within the pump chamber, creating the pressure needed to move material through the sprayer. A worn or damaged rod can cause leaks and loss of pressure.
Yes. It is highly recommended to replace the piston packings, seals, and potentially other wear components (like O-rings or gaskets) in the pump assembly at the same time. Replacing only the rod with old seals can lead to immediate leakage.
Signs include visible scoring or grooves on the rod's surface, chronic leaking from the packings that doesn't stop with new seals, or noticeable loss of pump pressure. Inspection during routine maintenance is the best method.
This is a premium aftermarket replacement part (Bedford 57-2672) designed to match the exact specifications and performance of the genuine Graco part (240517). It provides identical fit and function at a lower cost.
