Graco 116288 Thread to Barb Adapter

Graco 116288 Thread-to-Barb Adapter

The Graco 116288 Thread-to-Barb Adapter is a genuine OEM adapter/fitting designed to connect threaded ports to flexible hoses or tubing. It combines a threaded end (for pipe/fitting) with a hose-barb end (for hose/tube), enabling secure and leak-resistant hose connections in fluid/spray systems.

Compatible Systems / Applications

• Graco spray, coating, paint or fluid-handling machines that list part # 116288 in their hose-fitting diagram. ([source listing])
• Any fluid transfer or spray system where you need to connect a threaded fitting to a flexible hose or tube — for maintenance, retrofit or custom hose setup.

Product Features & Benefits

• Thread-to-Barb conversion: lets you connect threaded ports to flexible hoses or tubes.
• Secure hose connection: barb end grips the hose tightly (usually with a hose clamp), ensuring a leak-tight seal under pressure or fluid flow.
• OEM-grade fitting: manufactured to Graco specifications — ensures correct size, fit and reliable performance under typical spray/coating pressures.
• Versatility: useful for custom hose routing, retrofits, repairs or replacing incompatible fittings when switching between hose and rigid-pipe connections.

When & Why to Use / Replace

• Use when a machine’s original outlet/inlet port is threaded but you want to run a flexible hose instead of rigid pipe.
• Use when retrofitting or repairing a sprayer/system — for example if original hose-to-thread connector is damaged or unavailable.
• Replace if adapter threads or barb wear out, to maintain leak-free connection and system integrity.
