Graco Unveils Powerful Electric Fireproofing Pump

Breakthrough piston pump delivers power, performance and portability

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling
equipment, is pleased to announce its new ToughTek® F800e, an
innovative cementitious fireproofing pump that couples performance with
portability for contractors across the United States.

Designed with Graco’s patent-pending piston pump technology and a
direct-drive electric motor, the ToughTek F800e pump addresses
contractors’ need for a more efficient and higher-performing
fireproofing pump. Contractors want to complete a job as quickly as
possible while still maintaining high-quality work. With the F800e pump,
they can spray up to 40 bags per hour from a pump that plugs into any
standard 240-volt, 30-amp outlet, packing a powerful punch without
drawing a lot of power.

“Graco developed the F800e by listening to the needs of contractors from
all over the country,” said Bryce Gapinski, Graco Product Manager for
the ToughTek line of products. “We designed a breakthrough pump that has
a small footprint, is lightweight and easy to push around a job site and
requires less maintenance than rotor stator pumps, all while ensuring
the pump delivers high performance.”

Weighing less than 400 pounds, the output and size of the F800e pump
make it ideal for everyday jobs. This maneuverability allows contractors
to get in and out of floors quickly so the other trades can access them
sooner.
