{"product_id":"graco-186198","title":"Female Gland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bedford 18-1917 is a compatible replacement for Graco parts 186198 and 186-198 — the female gland used in Graco spray equipment. The female gland is the cupped ring that seats one end of the V-packing stack in the pump's fluid section; paired with its male counterpart it keeps the packings compressed so they seal around the piston rod under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon reasons for replacement:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid leaking past the packings even after tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure drop from a packing stack that no longer seats squarely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrooving or corrosion on the gland face after long service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRenewed along with new packings during a pump repack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance.
