Graco 116349 Gas Spring

Graco 116349 Gas Spring

The Graco 116349 Gas Spring is an OEM-specified gas strut designed for compatible Graco machines or assemblies that require controlled opening/closing of lids, covers, hoods or access panels. It uses internal compressed gas to provide smooth, damped motion, ensuring safe and stable operation.

Compatible Uses / Applications

• Graco spray-pump, coating or fluid-handling equipment models whose parts breakdown lists 116349 as the gas spring for a cover, hood, or access panel.
• Any repair, maintenance or retrofit job where an existing worn or damaged gas strut needs replacement — to restore safe lid/hood/panel operation.
• Custom setups or modifications where a damped opening/closing mechanism is needed, and 116349 matches the required specifications (length, force, mounting points).

Key Features & Benefits

• Gas-spring design: provides controlled, damped motion for lids or panels — prevents sudden slams or drops, improving safety and handling.
• OEM-spec component: ensures correct dimension, mounting configuration and compatibility with original Graco design — reduces risk of mismatch or failure compared to generic alternatives.
• Improves usability & safety: makes it easier to open/close machine covers or hoods, reduces strain on operator, and protects internal components from shock or impact.
• Durable & reliable over long-term use: designed for repeated cycles — suitable for industrial or commercial spray/coating environments.

When & Why to Use / Replace

• When the original gas spring is worn out, leaks or loses pressure — replace with 116349 to restore smooth operation and safety.
• When installing a replacement cover, hood or panel — use OEM-specified gas spring to match original design specifications.
• Recommended during maintenance or rebuilds — ensure all moving panels or covers have proper damped supports for operator safety and equipment longevity.
