Part number 800-248 is an Upper Packing specifically engineered for the 840 i Airless Sprayer, 840 IX, 840 ix Airless Sprayer, 840i Airless Sprayer, 1140 i, 1140 ix Airless Sprayer, 1140 IX, and Performer 1140 ix professional spray systems. These units deliver up to 3300 PSI operating pressure for residential, commercial, and industrial painting applications. This upper packing is a critical component of the fluid section, creating a high-pressure seal between the reciprocating piston rod and the pump housing. It prevents pressurized material from leaking past the piston during the pressure stroke, ensuring that all fluid is directed to the spray gun for consistent application.
The upper packing is subjected to continuous high-pressure cycling, friction from the moving piston, and chemical exposure. Wear is a normal part of operation, and symptoms of a worn upper packing include loss of pressure, surging output, and external leaks from the top of the pump. Regular inspection and replacement of the upper packing, typically as part of a complete packing kit, is essential for maintaining pump performance.
This packing is manufactured from specially formulated materials resistant to solvents, water-based coatings, and abrasive pigments. It is designed to maintain its sealing properties under extreme pressures and temperatures. Replacement with genuine 800-248 upper packing restores proper sealing integrity and ensures reliable performance of 840 and 1140 series sprayers.
| High-Pressure Seal | Prevents material bypass between piston rod and pump housing |
|---|---|
| Pressure Maintenance | Ensures full operating pressure reaches spray gun |
| Leak Prevention | Stops external fluid leakage from top of pump |
| Loss of Pressure | Unable to reach or maintain normal operating pressure |
|---|---|
| Surging Output | Pressure fluctuates during operation |
| External Leaks | Fluid weeping from top of pump housing |
| Preventive Maintenance | Replace during fluid section overhaul |
Part number 800-248 is specifically designed for the 840 i Airless Sprayer, 840 IX, 840 ix Airless Sprayer, 840i Airless Sprayer, 1140 i, 1140 ix Airless Sprayer, 1140 IX, and Performer 1140 ix professional spray systems.
