Fluid Pressure & Air Regulators
Precise fluid control is crucial to any finishing process. Graco's proven line of fluid and back pressure regulators can meet all of your finishing needs.
Less Paint Shear = More Consistent Finish
A back pressure regulator (BPR) is a critical part of a fluid circulation system. But in some applications, moving paint through a BPR adds to shear. Too much shear damages paint, affecting finish quality.
The innovative design of Graco’s low shear BPR reduces paint shear so that manufacturers produce products with consistent finish quality.
Fluid Pressure Regulators
Fluid pressure regulators control downstream fluid. This allows operators to accurately control how much material flows through paint spray guns and dispense valves.
Back Pressure Regulators
BPRs control upstream fluid pressure. Pair with Intelligent Paint Kitchen for closed loop control that maintains system pressure, regardless of flow demand.
Air Regulators
Air regulators ensure your finishing operation is utilizing compressed air to the fullest. Accurate air pressure adjustment improves process control.

What is Paint Shear?
Shear-induced paint degradation affects finishes like those on a shiny new car or truck. BPRs both cause and lessen paint shear. Videos explain.
Paint Shear Doesn't Take a Break
Low shear BPR helps automaker save up to $60,000 for each color It doesn’t need to throw out.
What is Paint Degradation?
Paint degradation affects manufacturers who use metallics for high quality surface finishes. As metallic paint circulates, it can get so damaged that it must be discarded.
