Description
The Bedford 18-3832 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 186987 and 186-987 — the throat male gland used in Graco spray equipment. The male gland is the nose-profiled ring that nests into the V-packing stack at the pump throat; paired with its female counterpart it keeps the packings compressed so they seal around the piston rod under pressure.
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. Compatible Graco equipment models are listed in the Compatible Equipment section below, where available.
