New knobs and switches

Graco recently changed the disconnect knobs and switches used on its line of Reactor® Plural-Component Proportioners, due to a vendor discontinuing the original versions. Affected parts include:

Electric and Hydraulic Reactors:
117545 Disconnect knob
117564 Switch
117553 Fourth pole switch (used on 400V machines only)

A-20 Reactors:
120572 Disconnect Knob
120571 Switch
120580 Fourth Pole switch

The new and old knobs and switches are not interchangeable; however, new knobs and switches will provide improved shaft strength and better shaft-to-handle mating.

Old and new fourth pole switches are interchangeable.

123967 New disconnect knob
123969 New switch
123968 New fourth pole switch
