What happens here

The video introduces the Titan ControlMax HEA paint sprayer, noting its unique design for low-pressure spraying. It explains that this model uses proprietary hoses, guns, and tips, meaning standard airless sprayer components from other Titan models (like the 440, 410, or 1140) or other brands are not directly compatible. Wagner also produces similar HEA sprayers in yellow and black, sharing the same proprietary characteristics. The purpose of these proprietary fittings is to ensure the sprayer operates optimally at low pressures, specifically with HEA tips, to avoid issues that might arise from using high-pressure production tips.

Goal: Learn about the proprietary nature of Titan ControlMax HEA sprayers, including their unique guns, hoses, and tips, which are designed for low-pressure operation and are not cross-compatible with standard airless sprayer parts.

this paint life tv i'm christy idaho painter and this is tool tip tuesday and i've got a titan control max sprayer right here and if you want to know if you can hook a whip to one of these things or if you can use other airless tips with your control max or titan ha sprayer i'm going to answer that question right here in this video so stay tuned [Music] all right here we go we've got to a little small titan ata spare and there's a whole line of these sprayers and some of you might know them as control max sprayers there's a whole line of control max sprayers and then wagner who owns titan has the exact same sprayers but they're yellow and black and they are the same sprayer just a different color and different models and all this stuff is going to apply to those wagner sprayers too and one thing about these sprayers is these ata spares they have a very unusual gun to them they and have unusual fittings to them 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 guard
