• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are not sure, call your Graco distributor.
• Do not alter or modify this equipment.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Do not exceed the maximum inlet pressure of the lowest rated system component. The maximum
inlet pressure of this equipment is 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar).
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 4 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning, checking
or servicing the equipment.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
• Be sure all equipment safety devices are operating properly before each use.
• Use fluids and solvents which are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the

Connect the line to the 1-1/4 in. npt(f) inlet and outlet.
Make sure the flow direction agrees with the IN and
OUT markings on the valve body.
The back pressure valve is adjustable to control the fluid
pressures in a circulating system from 5 to 200 psi
(0.035 to 1.4 MPa, 0.35 to 14 bar).
If more than one spray station is used, install the back
pressure valve in the fluid supply line after the last station. This will help maintain proper circulating pressures
in the system.
Operation
NOTE: The back pressure valve controls pressure
ahead of its intake.
Turn the adjusting screw
and
counterclockwise

clockwise
to decrease pressure.
to increase pressure
Adjust the pump pressure and back pressure valve for
the best spraying combination and for proper circulation
of fluid.
Flush the back pressure valve with a compatible solvent
whenever the rest of the system or unit is being flushed.
Open the back pressure valve before flushing by turning
the screw
counterclockwise
