Elite part 2369432 is an inlet designed to control the flow of material into the pump on compatible Elite 3000 sprayers. This component provides the connection point for the material supply hose and houses the inlet valve. Replacing a worn, cracked, or damaged inlet restores proper material flow and ensures consistent pump performance.

The 2369432 Inlet is a precision-machined component that controls the flow of material into the pump on the Elite 3000 sprayer. It serves as the connection point for the material supply hose and houses the inlet valve that regulates flow into the pump chamber.
The inlet is critical for proper pump operation. During the suction stroke, material is drawn through the inlet and past the inlet valve into the pump chamber. The inlet must maintain a clear, unrestricted passage while providing a secure mounting point for the valve and hose connection. Over time, inlets can become worn at sealing surfaces, cracked from pressure cycling or freeze damage, or clogged with dried material. A damaged inlet can cause restricted flow, poor priming, or leaks. Replacing the inlet restores proper material flow and ensures reliable pump performance.
