Product Overview
The Graco 222438 Piston Rod (also called a displacement rod) is the internal drive rod that couples the pump piston to the transmission. During the upstroke, it helps draw coating into the pump; during the downstroke, it drives material to the outlet at pressure. Designed as a direct OEM replacement for select Graco Ultra/Ultimate, GM, and EM series sprayers.
Why Choose the OEM 222438
- OEM fit & finish for reliable sealing and smooth pump cycles.
- Durable construction (chrome-plated stainless steel in OEM configurations) for wear and corrosion resistance.
- Restores performance if you’re seeing pulsation, pressure loss, or inconsistent spray patterns.
- Easy drop-in replacement when servicing the lower pump.
