Between January 1, 2017 and January 10, 2018, Graco 110225 ball valves were not manufactured correctly by Graco’s supplier!
The incorrect valves do not have a vent hole, and as a result will not vent pressure when turned to the closed position. Air pressure can then become trapped downstream of the valve potentially causing serious injury due to unexpected movement of equipment.
