FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • 57 litre or 95 litre hopper: which do I need?

    57 litre for carpark and council walk-behind work where the run length is short and a pail change is a quick interruption. 95 litre for long-line council, contractor public-road and any LineLazer V production work where stopping for a pail change costs significant time. The LineLazer V family takes either fitment depending on the variant; the 57 L is the standard fit on LineLazer 3400, V Standard, V 200HS Auto, while the 95 L is the high-volume add-on for V 200HS Reflective + V 250SPS production work.

  • How often should I replace the pail gasket?

    Replace the Graco Pail Gasket (278722) at every service interval and immediately if there is any visible paint weeping at the hopper-pail seal. The pail gasket is a low-cost wear part and the most common source of hopper-side paint leaks. Order one spare per hopper on first delivery so the unit is not down on a leaking gasket during a council shift.

  • Can I use a 95 L hopper on a LineLazer ES carpark unit?

    Generally no. The 95 L hopper is sized for the LineLazer V family and the unit weight, balance and frame are designed around the LineLazer V fitment. Carpark battery units (LineLazer ES 500, ES 1000) take a smaller standard hopper sized for the lower flow rate and lighter unit. Confirm hopper fitment against the unit serial before ordering, give us the unit serial and we will pull the matched hopper.

  • How do I clean the hopper after a shift?

    End-of-shift hopper cleaning is the same workflow as the pump flush. Drain remaining paint back into the pail, run a clean-water flush through the hopper and pump on waterborne paint (or appropriate solvent on solvent paint), wipe down the hopper interior, check the pail gasket for wear, and store with the lid sealed. Pump Armour is the standard end-of-shift flush fluid for the pump downstream of the hopper.

  • Are these hoppers covered by Graco warranty?

    Yes, when ordered as genuine Graco parts. Hoppers, lids and pail gaskets supplied here are genuine Graco-spec components and carry the standard Graco parts warranty. For warranty service, retain the order receipt and the Graco part number. Aftermarket lookalikes typically fail on lid seal life and pail gasket fit and are not what the LineLazer unit was built around.

Choosing the Right Paint Hopper

The paint hopper sits between the paint pail and the LineLazer pump and feeds paint into the unit at controlled flow. Hopper sizing drives paint changeover frequency: a 57 L hopper suits carpark and council walk-behind work; a 95 L hopper suits long-line and high-throughput council fleet work. The pail gasket is the standard wear part and should be carried as a spare on every unit.

57 litre hopper for LineLazer line stripers. The Graco 57 Litre Paint Hopper (241104) is the standard fit on LineLazer line stripers running carpark and council walk-behind work. The 15 Gallon Reservoir (278720) is the equivalent imperial-spec reservoir, also approximately 57 L. Both reduce paint changeover interruptions on bay-defining and short-run council work.

95 litre hopper for LineLazer V production work. The Graco LineLazer V Paint Hopper 95 Litre (278452) is the high-volume option on the LineLazer V family. About 50 percent more capacity than the 57 L hopper, which means longer run times between paint pail changes on long-line council and contractor work. The LineLazer V Paint Hopper variant (24U241) covers an alternate LineLazer V fitment.

Pail gasket replacement. The Graco Pail Gasket (278722) is the seal between the paint pail and the hopper neck. It is the most common wear part in the hopper assembly and is the cause of most hopper-side paint leaks. Order one spare on first delivery and one per service interval. Skipping pail gasket replacement is the single biggest source of avoidable hopper-side leaks on infrequent-use units.
