Glass Bead 12in 1 Gun with Hopper for PowrLiner 8900, 6900, 6950, 4900 Series and 4500/5500 Models

The 424-840 Glass Bead 12in 1 Gun with hopper is a complete self-contained dispensing system designed for use on a wide range of PowrLiner striping machines, including the 8900 series, 6900 series, 6950 series, 4900 series, 4955/6955/8955 models, and the 4500 and 5500 series. This 12-inch dispenser features an integrated hopper that stores and feeds reflective glass beads for application onto freshly painted lines with a 12-inch application width, creating immediate retroreflectivity that significantly enhances nighttime visibility for drivers. Glass bead application is essential for traffic markings on roadways, parking lots, and other surfaces where visibility in low-light conditions is required for safety.

This complete system includes the storage hopper, feed mechanism, dispensing gun, and all necessary mounting components for installation. The integrated hopper design eliminates the need for separate bead storage and transfer systems, simplifying setup and operation. The 12-inch width designation indicates the bead application pattern width, which accommodates wider line striping applications such as crosswalks, edge lines, and larger parking lot markings. Proper bead application requires correct positioning relative to the spray gun, consistent flow rate, and reliable activation synchronized with the paint spray. Over time, bead dispensers may experience wear in the feed mechanism, clogging in the dispensing nozzle, or damage to mounting components. A malfunctioning dispenser can result in inconsistent bead application, wasted beads, or reduced reflectivity that fails to meet safety standards. Replacing or installing a complete bead dispenser system with hopper restores proper bead application capability, ensuring that freshly striped lines achieve the required retroreflectivity for safety compliance. This dispenser is manufactured to original equipment specifications for correct fitment, reliable bead flow, and consistent application on compatible models.

Service Guidance: If the bead dispenser shows inconsistent bead flow, clogging, or fails to activate with the spray gun, inspect the feed mechanism, nozzle, and synchronization system. Replace worn components or the complete dispenser as needed to restore proper bead application.

Related parts commonly serviced together

When servicing the glass bead dispensing system, these additional components are frequently inspected or replaced at the same time.

Bead feed control

The metering mechanism and control linkage should be checked for proper adjustment and wear.

Spray gun assembly

Proper alignment between the bead nozzle and spray gun is essential for consistent bead embedment.

Hopper mounting hardware

Bolts, brackets, and mounting points should be inspected for secure attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Glass beads create retroreflectivity by reflecting light from vehicle headlights back toward the driver. This significantly enhances nighttime visibility of traffic markings, improving safety on roadways and in parking facilities.

The 12" designation indicates the bead application width. This dispenser is designed to apply glass beads across a 12-inch pattern, which accommodates wider line striping applications such as crosswalks, edge lines, and larger parking lot markings.

This dispenser is compatible with PowrLiner 8900, 8900 XLT, 8900 XLT SP, 6950_1, 6950, 6900 XLT, 6900 XLT SP, 5500, 4950, 4900, 4900 XLT, 4955/6955/8955, 4500, and 4500 service models. Always verify fitment for your specific machine.

Keep the hopper clean and dry to prevent bead clumping. Clean the dispensing nozzle regularly to remove dried paint or debris. Check feed mechanism for wear periodically. Ensure proper alignment with the spray gun. Store the dispenser in a dry location to prevent moisture absorption that can affect bead flow.
