Graco 196177 Adapter Nipple
When hoses don’t match or connections start to seep, productivity stops fast.
The Graco 196177 Adapter Nipple is a simple but critical OEM fitting designed to securely connect fluid or air lines on Graco airless sprayers and line stripers—without leaks, guesswork, or improvised fixes.
Built from high-strength metal, this adapter nipple is commonly used to join two hoses with different diameters, making it ideal for extra hose setups or replacement during maintenance. Like using the right size coupling on a garden hose, the correct nipple ensures full flow without pressure loss or drips.
Key Benefits:
Securely connects fluid or air lines with a leak-resistant seal
OEM Graco construction for proper fit and long-term reliability
Ideal for extra hose configurations and diameter transitions
Compact, durable metal design for jobsite use
Helps keep sprayers and stripers running at full pressure
For contractors working in Michigan and across the Continental U.S., where short weather windows demand reliable equipment, this small adapter helps avoid lost time and messy failures.
How to Use the Graco Adapter Nipple
Power down and depressurize the sprayer or line striper.
