9871048 is a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) O‑ring used as a static or dynamic seal in the fluid section or drive assembly of the SprayTech EP2510 airless sprayer. PTFE material provides excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and high temperature tolerance for reliable sealing in paint and solvent environments.

The 9871048 PTFE O‑Ring is an OEM replacement seal made from virgin or filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for the SprayTech EP2510 airless sprayer. It is used in critical fluid sealing applications, such as between pump housing sections, valve seats, or piston/cylinder interfaces. PTFE offers superior resistance to paints, solvents, and chemicals, as well as a low coefficient of friction for dynamic sealing.
Over time, PTFE O‑rings can become compressed (take a permanent set), develop nicks or cuts, or be damaged during disassembly. A failed O‑ring leads to external leaks, pressure loss, fluid bypass, or contamination. Replacing the worn O‑ring with the 9871048 restores a leak‑tight seal and prevents further damage to surrounding components.
| Static sealing | Prevents fluid leaks between stationary mating surfaces |
|---|---|
| Dynamic sealing (if applicable) | Seals between moving parts with low friction |
| Chemical resistance | Withstands aggressive paints and solvents without swelling |
| Visible damage | Cuts, nicks, or flattened cross‑section |
|---|---|
| Hardening or deformation | O‑ring no longer returns to original shape |
| External leak | Paint or fluid seeping from the sealed joint |
| Disassembly / overhaul | Always replace PTFE O‑rings when a joint is opened |
Part 9871048 is designed for the following SprayTech model. Always verify with your machine's parts diagram before ordering.

| SprayTech EP2510 | PTFE O‑ring (fluid section / valve / housing seal) |
When replacing the PTFE O‑ring, these related components are often inspected or replaced at the same time.
PTFE O‑rings often use a backup ring to prevent extrusion; replace as a set.
Inspect mating grooves and surfaces for corrosion or damage.
If rebuilding a section, replace all seals in that area.
