The GRACO 117728 is a compression union fitting designed for use in fluid handling systems. It is typically constructed from durable materials such as brass or similar alloys, ensuring reliable connections in high-pressure environments. This part is intended to securely join two sections of tubing or hose within GRACO spray equipment, maintaining system integrity and preventing leaks. Key Features: Compression union fitting 3/8 inch Brass or similar alloy (not explicitly specified, but typical for this type of fitting) Compatible with GRACO spray equipment requiring 3/8 inch compression fittings Ensures secure, leak-free connections Easy to install and maintain Designed for reliability and repeated use in demanding environments Applications:Used in GRACO spray systems for joining tubing or hose sections, commonly found in paint, texture, and fluid transfer applications. Installation Notes: Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal fit, performance, and safety within GRACO equipment. Ensure tubing ends are clean and free from burrs before installation Tighten compression nut securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage Check for leaks after installation and during routine maintenance Regularly inspect fittings for wear or damage Replace fittings at the first sign of leakage or degradation Follow GRACO equipment manual for specific installation instructions
