GRACO 164120 - Tip Filter Housing / Retainer Kit — 7/8″ Thread, Supports 60 & 100 Mesh Filters
The GRACO 164120 is a tip filter housing (retainer kit) designed to mount onto airless spray guns with a 7/8″ threaded tip. It provides an extra layer of filtration directly before the spray tip, helping to catch particulates and reduce tip plugging — especially useful in fine finish work.
Key Features
- Fits all standard 7/8″ threaded airless spray guns (tip attachment point)
- Compatible with 60-mesh and 100-mesh tip filters (e.g. part numbers 238564, 224453, 224454)
- Provides auxiliary filtering right before the spray tip to reduce clogging and improve finish consistency
- Made from durable materials suited for paint / fluid environments (check manufacturer specification for material)
Typical Applications
Use this kit in spray finishing systems where maintaining a clean fluid path is critical for appearance and performance. Ideal for:
- Fine finish painting (automotive, architectural, cabinetry)
- Environments with particulate or contamination risk in the fluid supply
- Retrofitting older spray setups to reduce tip plugging
Installation Notes & Best Practices
- Always depressurize the spray system before installing or removing filters.
- Use compatible 60-mesh or 100-mesh tip filters — make sure the filter is seated correctly in the housing.
- Periodically inspect the filter and housing for wear, blockages, or damage — replace when performance degrades.
- Ensure the threads are properly sealed (use suitable thread sealant if required by your system) to avoid leaks at the tip.
