Description
Graco Pump Armor is mostly made of Ethylene Glycol, at around 40-60%. Other ingredients are water (40-49%) and proprietary additives, such as Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Nitrate, and Denatonium Benzoate. When to use Pump Armor? Yes, you should use Pump Armor even if you plan on storing your device indoors, because it also prevents corrosion build-up from moisture, not just from freezing. What can I use as a Pump Armor substitute? There aren’t any real alternatives to Graco’s Pump Armor or any other paint sprayer storage protection liquids for that matter.

If you’re serious about spray painting and you actually care about your device(s), you probably already know that paint sprayers need constant maintenance even when not in use, especially during the wintertime.Because Pump Armor is very similar to antifreeze, people have been using it as a substitute and even some mineral spirits. There is no evidence that these products work the same way. Is Pump Armor just antifreeze? Turn on the device, open the prime valve, and slowly increase the pressure. Get ready to stop the device before the water starts making its way into the cup. That’s pretty much it. Your paint sprayer is ready to be stored. How to flush out the Graco Pump Armor fluid? Below we’ll be explaining one of the most important parts of a paint sprayer’s maintenance that does indeed extend the lifespan and improve its performance. To sum everything up, Graco Pump Armor is absolutely needed if you care about your paint sprayer. Think of it as an accessory that without it, your paint sprayer won’t do its job.

Because Pump Armor is relatively cheap, most people do not reuse it. You can, though. I do reuse it most of the time. We decided to take as an example a product from Graco, called Pump Armor, as it is one of the most popular on the market. Read above the how to flush out the fluid section to learn how to collect it the proper way to be as clean as possible. Do I need to use Pump Armor if I plan on storing my device indoors? Sure some people buy a cheap paint sprayer just for a job or two. If you’re one of them, you probably won’t care much and you may even throw the paint sprayer away after you get the job done. Get the Graco Pump Armor and insert the suction tube directly into the bottle. Take the return tube and put it into an empty cup.No, it’s not. Pump Armor is specifically designed to be used for anti-corrosion and helping lubricate paint-sprayers, so we do not recommend using antifreeze. Final thoughts It is made and approved by Graco for use in all airless pumps. It is available in two sizes: 1-quart and 1-gallon bottle sizes. What does Graco Pump Armor do? The process itself is relatively easy. The gun and the hose aren’t really needed here, because what we want to achieve, is to fill the pump with liquid, not the other parts of the paint sprayer. Don’t forget that one of the main uses of Pump Armor is to protect the paint sprayer from corrosion, so diluting it with water makes no sense if you plan on storing your device for a long period. Can you reuse Pump Armor? We tried to explain in detail what it is, what it does, and how to use it. We also tried to answer some of the most common questions. If there is something we haven’t covered, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below.

According to Graco, the Pump Armor must be used for “extended storage” of your device. Now, what do they mean by “extended”?
For the above step, while you can insert the return tube into the bottle of Pump Armor together with the suction tube, I don’t recommend it, because some leftover paint or whatever material you’ve been using the last time can end up inside. Before starting the process, you have to make sure that the device is as clean as possible, removing as much leftover paint as you can while it’s still in its fluid form.
