- Compatible with Graco mechanical back-pressure regulators and pump lower assemblies
- Resists wear and extrusion for long-lasting performance
- Low-friction surface reduces internal wear
- Direct OEM replacement part
Graco 15A186 PTFE with Carbon Packing – Robust OEM Seal
The Graco 15A186 PTFE with Carbon Packing is a high-performance OEM seal tailored for Graco pump or regulator assemblies. By blending chemical-resistant PTFE with wear-resistant carbon, this packing offers excellent durability, sealing strength, and low friction.
Product Overview
This packing combines the best of both materials: PTFE provides outstanding chemical compatibility and smooth sliding, while the infused carbon reinforces structural integrity to stand up under repeated pressure cycles. It forms a reliable seal in dynamic environments, minimizing leakage and improving the longevity of the pump or regulator unit.

Installation
To install the Graco 15A186 Packing correctly:
- Ensure the system is fully depressurized and drained.
- Remove the old packing carefully without damaging mating surfaces.
- Clean the packing chamber thoroughly to remove any residue.
- Insert the new PTFE/carbon packing so it sits square and evenly.
- Reassemble the housing components, making sure everything is aligned.
- Tighten fasteners per manufacturer torque specs, then run a low-pressure test to verify the seal.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect packing during routine maintenance or when leakage appears.
- Look for signs of extrusion, wear, or material degradation.
- Replace if performance drops or leakage begins, to avoid larger failures.
- Use recommended lubricants/assembly fluids when replacing packing to enhance lifespan.
