What is the Graco 235709 Replacement Piston Rod?
The Graco 235709 Piston Rod is a core pump component that drives coating flow in compatible Graco airless sprayers. On the up-stroke it draws material into the pump, and on the down-stroke it pressurizes fluid toward the hose and gun. Replacing a worn or scored rod restores sealing performance, pressure stability, and finish quality.
