Product Description
The Graco 15A978 Tip Gasket is an OEM‑specified seal designed to provide a secure, leak‑resistant interface between the spray gun body and the spray tip assembly. It helps maintain optimum fluid flow, prevent bypass leakage, and ensure consistent spray performance.
Crafted to precise tolerances using materials compatible with painting fluids, solvent systems and coatings, the 15A978 gasket supports long‑term reliability of the tip connection. If a spray tip exhibits leakage, inconsistent pattern, or fluid buildup around the tip base, replacing this gasket restores the seal and improves system performance.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Ensure the spray gun is depressurized and fluid supply is turned off before removing the tip.
- Inspect the tip mounting surface and seating area for damage, debris or fluid swarf before installing the new gasket.
- Place the 15A978 gasket in position and seat the spray tip firmly to ensure a proper seal—avoid cross‑threading or misalignment.
- After the tip is reassembled, run the sprayer at low pressure to verify there is no fluid leakage around the tip base.
- During routine tip maintenance, always inspect the gasket and replace if signs of wear, extrusion, or deformation are present.
