GRACO 25R488 - Low Shear Fluid Back Pressure Regulator, 300 Max psi, 10 gpm Max flow rate, SST, Mechanical, high wear, sanitary Inlet/Outlet

Low shear back pressure regulator designed to minimize material waste and maximize service life. Features innovative flow path geometry that minimizes paint shear for high solid, shear sensitive materials while maintaining consistent pressure across broad flow rate ranges. Compact design with backwards compatibility ensures easy installation and replacement.

Graco’s low shear back pressure regulator (BPR) minimizes shear and prevents paint degradation so that manufacturers produce consistent finish quality.

Spring-operated mechanical back pressure regulator with sanitary tri-clamp connections. Works with IPK control to reduce energy consumption and paint shear. Manual 3A7527 provides installation and operation instructions. This is a mechanical (spring) type back pressure regulator with lower flow capacity. Temperature range is 0°C to 50°C. Type of Protection 'h' applied is constructional safety 'c'. This is the lower flow version of a mechanical spring-operated back pressure regulator. Part 25R647 is the higher flow version. The diagram shows this as part of a conversion kit system - to convert to air operation, parts need to be removed and replaced with air version kit parts (reference page 13).
