The Story
The Bedford 20-1259 is a direct-fit replacement for the Graco 217-559 ball valve with Viton packing, a critical sealing component in airless spray systems where fluid control and reliability under pressure are essential.
Pump rebuild specialists and spray equipment technicians rely on ball valve kits like this one to restore proper shutoff performance and prevent fluid bypass during standby or equipment idle periods. Professional painting contractors depend on responsive valve operation to maintain spray system integrity across multiple job sites and extended application cycles.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Fluid weeping or dripping from the valve when sprayer is at rest, indicating worn or degraded packing material
- Sluggish valve closure or difficulty achieving a complete seal, causing pressure loss or unintended spray pattern drift
- Viton packing deterioration from prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents, coatings, or harsh fluid chemistries
- Valve actuation requiring excessive force, signaling internal wear or packing compression beyond service limits
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 217-559, Graco 217559.
