20 in. (50 cm) Heavy-Duty Extension
9 in. (23 cm) EvenFlow Roller Frame
1/2 in. (13 mm) Nap Roller Cover
Contractor Inline Valve
3600 psi (24.8 MPa, 248 bar) Maximum Fluid Inlet Pressure
The best operating pressure is the lowest pressure that provides
*
an even paint supply to the roller and typically does not exceed
300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar).
CAUTION
Never leave water in the pump, inline valve, or roller frame.
Doing so could cause corrosion and damage from freezing.
For storage, flush the system with Graco Pump Armor or

Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause the equipment to rupture or
malfunction and result in serious injury.
To help prevent injury
Do not modify the extension tube or roller
frame or use parts not designed for this
equipment.
Do not use 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents in this or
any other pressurized aluminum equipment.
Such use could result in a chemical reaction,
with the possibility of explosion.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open
flames or sparks can cause a hazardous
condition and result in a fire or explosion and
serious injury.
To help prevent injury from fire or explosion
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the
buildup of flammable fumes from flushing
fluids or the coating being applied.
Keep the application area free of debris,
including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
INSTRUCTIONS
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
If high-pressure fluid pierces your skin, the injury
might look like “just a cut”. But it is a serious
wound. Get immediate surgical treatment.
To help prevent injection
Keep your hands and body away form the
roller frame when flushing. High pressure
fluid emitted from the holes in the frame
could cause an injection injury.
Always relieve pressure before you check or
repair leaks and when you turn off pump or stop
painting.
Never use components rated less than system
Maximum Working Pressure.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Failure to observe the electrical hazards described
below could result in serious injury, including burns
or electrocution.
To help prevent harmful electrical shock
Avoid contact with power lines.
Follow all grounding instructions in your
separate pump instruction manual, and
comply with all local, state, and national fire,
electrical, and safety regulations.
Use only Graco paint hoses.
2 309445
Installation
Assemble pressure roller as shown in Parts Drawing,
page 7. Attach pressure roller assembly to inline
valve.
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
To help prevent injection injuries,
follow this procedure whenever
you stop painting.
psi/MPa/bar
1. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY ON
position (Fig. 1).
2. Shut off power to pump.
When connecting EvenFlow roller frame to the
Contractor Inline Valve, use a wrench to tighten.
3. Turn prime/spray valve to PRIME position to
relieve pressure in system.
4. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY OFF
position, and trigger inline valve to relieve any
pressure in hose.
5. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY ON
position, and keep pump prime/spray valve in
PRIME position until you paint again.

Operation
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection
injury, do not operate the inline valve with
the tip guard or trigger guard removed.
The Contractor Inline Valve can be used as an
airless spray gun by attaching a Handtite Guard
and RAC5 Switchtip.
1. Follow pump priming instructions using lowest
pressure setting at which pump primes.
2. Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY position.
In-Line Valve Trigger Safety Lever
For SAFETY ON position, rotate trigger safety lever so
it is in line with trigger. For SAFETY OFF position, flip
safety lever so it is 90 to trigger. Fig. 1.
NOTE: In the SAFETY ON position the lever sits in a
detent which holds it in place.
SAFETY ON SAFETY OFF
Fig. 1
Startup
NOTE:
3. Disengage inline valve safety latch, trigger the
inline valve, and roll the surface until paint comes
to roller.
NOTE: Trigger the inline valve briefly only when
you need more paint. Determine how often you
must trigger the inline valve to maintain an even
paint supply to the roller.
4. Increase pump pressure only if triggering inline
valve cannot supply enough paint for your rolling
speed.
Relieve pressure, page 3,
5.
Flush pump, inline valve, and roller frame immediately
after each use to prevent paint from drying in roller
frame and damaging it.
whenever you stop painting.
Elevate roller end of
extension tube to prevent
paint from draining out.
Cleaning
NOTE: Follow this procedure to flush the roller frame
and inline valve. The pump you are using may have
additional flushing steps, such as cleaning filters and
screens. See the pump flushing instructions.
Leave the roller frame attached to the inline valve for
this procedure.

Cleaning the EvenFlow Roller Frame
1.
2. Remove roller cover (19) and diffuser (23) from
roller frame as follows (see Parts Drawing):
a. Using your thumb, press down on clip (5) to
release end caps (2 &4), diffuser (23) and
roller cover (19) into a pail.
b. Remove roller cover (19) from diffuser (23).
c. Pull end caps (2 & 4) off diffuser (23).
3. Clean roller cover (19), caps (2 & 4) and diffuser
(19) with water or a compatible fluid for oil–based
materials.
4. Place roller frame (1) in paint pail. Be sure the
holes in roller frame (1) are facing inside the paint
pail.
Relieve pressure, page 3.
5. Prime pump with water or flushing fluid for oil–
based materials. Use the lowest pump priming
pressure setting.
6. Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY.
NOTE: Perform Step 7 at the lowest pressure possible.
7. Trigger inline valve until flushing fluid begins to
dilute the paint.
8. Place roller frame (1) in another bucket and continue flushing until fluid coming out of the roller frame
(1) is clear.
Storage
If you are going to store the airless equipment for an
extended period of time after flushing with water-base
fluid, flush again with Graco Pump Armor or mineral
spirits/paint thinner. Leave this fluid in the system
during storage.
Cleaning Contractor Inline Valve
1.
2. Push up on bottom of trigger guard and swing it
away from trigger.
3. Unscrew inline valve handle from housing. Remove filter and clean it in compatible solvent.
NOTE: Do not soak entire inline valve in solvent.
Prolonged exposure to solvent can ruin packings.
4. Apply lithium–based grease to threads of inline
valve handle and reassemble inline valve.
