Graco GX21 Inlet Strainer 288716

The Graco 288716 Inlet Strainer is a genuine mesh inlet filter that helps keep paint and coatings clean before they enter the pump on compatible Graco airless paint sprayers. By catching debris early, it helps protect the pump, reduce tip blockages, and support a more consistent finish, especially when working with older paint, partially used tubs, or materials that may contain grit. It’s lightweight, quick to fit, and easy to rinse clean, making it a simple, low-cost part that can prevent expensive downtime.

Key benefits:

• Protects your pump by filtering debris before it reaches internal components.
• Reduces tip clogging for smoother spraying and fewer stoppages.
• Improves reliability and helps extend pump life.
• Easy to clean and replace (simple routine maintenance).
• Genuine Graco part for correct fit and filtration performance.
