Description
The GRACO 918408 is a wiper plate assembly designed for use with 5-gallon (19-liter) pails. It is typically constructed with materials such as zinc-plated carbon steel, synthetic rubber, and other engineered polymers, and is intended to provide a seal and guide for the follower plate in GRACOs ram supply units, ensuring efficient and clean fluid transfer.
Key Features:
- Wiper Plate Assembly
- 5 Gallon (19 Liter)
- Zinc-plated carbon steel, synthetic rubber, and other engineered polymers (exact material may vary by model; for 918408, specific wetted parts are not detailed in available documentation, but similar models use these materials)
- Designed for use with 5-gallon (19-liter) straight-sided pails; can be modified for tapered pails. Compatible with GRACO ram supply units and related equipment.
- Provides a seal and guide for the follower plate
- Helps maintain cleanliness and efficiency in fluid transfer
- Can be used with unheated applications (see UNHEATED 5-GALLON WIPER RING KIT, 305 mm O.D., for PVC applications)
- Ease of maintenance and reliability are standard features for GRACO wiper plates
Applications:
Used in industrial fluid handling systems, particularly for transferring fluids from 5-gallon pails in lubrication, maintenance, and manufacturing environments.
Installation Notes:
- Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance of the equipment.
- Ensure the wiper plate is compatible with the specific pail type (straight-sided or tapered)
- Follow GRACOs installation instructions for proper alignment and sealing
- Regularly inspect and clean the wiper plate to maintain performance
- For unheated applications, use the appropriate wiper ring kit (e.g., 237702 for PVC applications)
- Inspect wiper plate for wear or damage during routine maintenance
- Replace wiper plate if signs of degradation or leakage are observed
- Use recommended accessories such as shield kits to keep the wiper plate clean
