A dependable inlet strainer helps your sprayer last longer and perform more consistently. This 3/4 in. GH(m) thread 32-mesh inlet filter installs at the intake of any Graco Magnum airless paint sprayer and serves as a first line of defense against clogs and internal wear. It captures debris before paint enters the pump, helping reduce damage, pressure loss, and spray pattern disruption. This spray gun filter directly replaces Graco part number 257002 and fits all Graco Magnum airless paint sprayer models without modification. Its stainless mesh screen is designed to stop common paint contaminants like dried pigment flakes, rust, dirt, or other elements that can shorten the life of your spray tip or require extra maintenance during jobs. Installation is simple, and routine cleaning is even easier. You can flush the system after use and rinse the strainer without removing major components. Keeping this part in place and functioning well helps maintain proper flow and reduces downtime between tasks. This inlet filter helps protect your equipment investment. Fewer clogs and cleaner paint flow mean less wear on the pump and better spray control overall. Whether you're spraying walls, decks, or fencing, using a reliable filter gives your Graco Magnum sprayer the clean material it needs for consistent output. When you want to avoid surprise breakdowns and preserve your system's lifespan, a clean inlet filter like this one makes a noticeable difference.
