Graco Ultra 490 XT Electric Airless Sprayer, Stand

The Ultra 490 XT is Graco's midsize electric airless built for painters who spray most days. It runs a 1.3 HP Xtreme Torque motor with rapid-response pressure control, and it's built around a pump designed to outlast the competition. The stand version keeps the weight down at just 31 lb, so it's easy to load in and out of the truck and carry up a flight of stairs.

What's in the box

Why painters choose the XT

• Xtreme Torque motor: Graco's motor designed specifically for airless spraying. Graco says it delivers 15x more torque than traditional motors, runs up to 10x quieter, and runs at about 90% lower speeds, which extends motor life. That quiet operation matters for occupied homes and evening work.
• Rapid-Response pressure control: constantly monitors and adjusts pressure to cut down fluctuations, giving a smoother, more even finish across the full tip range. Pressure range is 50 to 3300 PSI, shown on an easy-to-read LED display.
• Two spray modes: Low Pressure Mode (50 to 2000 PSI) for tighter control, less overspray, and finer finishes. High Pressure Mode (500 to 3300 PSI) for maximum production on heavier coatings and bigger tips.
• Endurance Vortex pump: the Vortex rod is designed to last up to 3x longer than the closest competitor, and ProConnect pump removal makes on-site service quick.
• TurboClean: Graco's fastest pump cleaning system, using about half the water.
• WatchDog pump protection: shuts the pump off when you run out of paint, so you don't run it dry.
• Easy Out filter: simple maintenance and less clogging.
