Description
The Bedford 18-1549 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 183-178 and 183178 — the male gland used in 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 5900 HD ProContractor, APX 6200 (Chrome), APX 6200 (MaxLife), GH 130 (2014+), GH 130 Standard, GM 5000 HD and other Graco equipment.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Grooving or corrosion on the gland face after long service
- 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
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance.
