Metering ("Cheater") Valve
The Bedford 29-1680 is a direct-fit replacement for the Binks 73157 metering valve. It earns the nickname "cheater" valve because it lets the painter dial delivery up or down on the fly at the gun — a shortcut around walking back to reset the pump or main regulator. Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper sealing and valve function.
Common reasons this valve component is replaced:
- OEM component worn or damaged beyond service limits
- Leakage or seal failure at the affected assembly
- Replacement required during scheduled pump rebuild
- Maintaining OEM-equivalent performance and sealing
Professional contractors use this kit to restore proper valve function and prevent fluid loss. All components are manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for reliable sealing and consistent operation under working pressure.
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance. Compatible Binks equipment models are listed in the Compatible Equipment section below, where available.
Replacement for: Binks 73-157, Devilbiss HAV-500.
