Titan ControlMax Conversion HACK!. What Can and Can't You Use.

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates that while a standard Titan guard and tip might physically screw onto a ControlMax gun if the guard is removed, this setup is not recommended. The ControlMax sprayer is specifically engineered for High-Efficiency Airless (HEA) tips (identifiable by their green color), which spray effectively at lower pressures (800-1000 PSI). Using standard high-pressure tips on a ControlMax will not yield optimal performance and can lead to poor spray quality. Furthermore, standard tips often do not fit into the proprietary guards supplied with ControlMax sprayers.

Goal: Observe why standard airless tips are incompatible with Titan ControlMax/HEA sprayers and learn that only specific HEA tips should be used.

Tools and materials

  • Standard Airless Tip (e.g
  • 515)
  • Standard Airless Tip Guard
  • Titan ControlMax/HEA Spray Gun
  • Titan Green HEA Tip

What they say

Hide

these sprayers were designed to spray it at low pressures not like a typical airless sprayer so titan did not want you using other hoses guns or tips with this sprayer so they made some proprietary ends fittings and tips specifically for these sprayers that can't be cross used with other sprayers so here's a typical titan guard and tip that just left down there and i got another one in front of me i will grab that guard and that's what you would call a blooper but this is a typical titan garden tip that would go on you know a titan 440 a titan 410 a titan 1140 all their same guns now here's an unusual thing about this sprayer you can take this guard off right here in both guards have what we call a 7 8 g thread so both guards can be screwed on to this gun so now you can take and screw this guard onto this gun right here and now i can spray a 515 tip using this sprayer but this sprayer was designed to run at lower pressures and not spray production tips so you're not going to get the performance out of this tip you should not be doing that you should be using only hea which is high efficiency airless tips designed to spray at low pressures and that's what titan has identified as their green tip so the green tips are hea tips now titan does make green tips that go in all their professional model sprayers and not necessarily these are do-it-yourself model spares there's a titan tip i had a customer contact me the other day paint life supply co and he could not get the tip he purchased from us into this
