The Story
The Bedford 20-2806 is a direct-fit replacement for the Graco bleed valve with solvent-resistant O-ring, a critical component in airless spray systems that manages air and excess fluid evacuation during priming and operation.
Spray equipment technicians and rental equipment maintenance staff rely on this kit to restore proper pressure relief functionality in Graco airless rigs. The solvent-resistant O-ring construction ensures the valve performs reliably across diverse coating materials—including aggressive solvents, acrylics, and water-based formulations—without degradation or leakage that could compromise system pressure stability.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Fluid weeping or loss of seal integrity around the valve body during idle periods or pressure cycling
- Sluggish or incomplete pressure relief response, causing unsafe pressure buildup or spray pattern inconsistency
- O-ring hardening, swelling, or chemical breakdown from prolonged exposure to solvent-based coatings or thinners
- Worn or damaged valve seat surfaces that prevent proper closure and create chronic air ingestion
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 239-914, Graco 239914.
