The Story
The Bedford 20-1446 is a direct-fit replacement for the Heavy Duty Lever Kit – Ball Valve assembly, a critical control component in Graco airless spray systems designed for demanding jobsite conditions. This lever kit operates the ball valve mechanism that regulates fluid flow and pressure relief, essential for contractors and technicians managing high-volume coating applications.
Spray equipment technicians and pump rebuild specialists rely on this assembly during routine maintenance and emergency repairs to restore full control functionality to spray guns and pressure equipment. Professional painting contractors depend on responsive lever action to maintain consistent spray patterns and safely manage system pressure during extended application work.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Lever mechanism becomes stiff, unresponsive, or fails to return to neutral position after spraying
- Ball valve does not seat properly, causing fluid seepage or inability to shut off flow
- Worn or cracked lever arm compromises operator control and safety
- Internal valve components deteriorate, preventing reliable pressure regulation during application
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance. Compatible Graco equipment models are listed in the Compatible Equipment section below, where available.
Replacement for: Graco 178747, Graco 178-747.
