Graco FlexLiner Storage Plug 17M879 | Paint Sprayer Accessory
Summary
Key Features
- Store paint in your FlexLiner between spraying sessions instead of immediately emptying the system.
- Helps prevent material from drying out by sealing the FlexLiner system when properly installed.
- Faster colour changes when working with multiple prepared FlexLiner systems.
- Large grip design makes the plug easier to install and remove.
- Useful for multi-colour projects where several coatings need to remain ready for spraying.
- Genuine Graco accessory designed for use with compatible FlexLiner systems.
Ideal Uses
Particularly useful when several FlexLiner systems are being used on the same project and you want to keep different coatings ready to go.
How It Works
The FlexLiner system allows paint to be held inside the flexible liner rather than a traditional rigid paint cup. When a prepared FlexLiner is not being used on the sprayer, the 17M879 Storage Plug can be installed to close the system.
- Prepare and fill your compatible FlexLiner system.
- Remove it from the sprayer when changing colours or coatings.
- Install the storage plug to seal the FlexLiner system.
- Keep the prepared FlexLiner ready until it is needed again.
This can make projects requiring several colours or coatings easier to manage while reducing unnecessary emptying and cleaning between changes.
Coating Compatibility
Always follow the coating manufacturer's storage requirements. The FlexLiner Storage Plug is intended for temporary storage and project organization rather than long-term paint storage.
