Thank you. Try to be direct and to the point in each Video

[@AdrianTorres-ml8si]

Just wanted to let you know that thanks to your awesome knowledge and patience I saved lots of hundreds of dollars, took my 440i to a local shop they wanted to charge me $512... I watched your video, ordered my packings and I did it!!! Last night. Today i just made $700 with it. GRACIAS!!! THANKS YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

I am glad the video helped you and saved you money. Keep in mind that a certified service center will also check other items on your machine to ensure good and safe operation that prevents premature failure or safety problems.

[@grahamsadventures]

My titan 440i had only been serviced not too long ago, it started to lose pressure more and more as time went by and then wouldn't hold any pressure so I decided to fix it myself. According to your video and looking at the genuine parts I discovered the lower packing was different and there were 2 missing washers in my sprayer, whoever serviced it did a crappy job. Im so glad I did it properly myself watching your video step by step. I ordered the Titan packing kit, had to wipe off the old black grease and put fresh grease on everything, installed the 2 washers that were missing and the beaten up ball baring. Now it works perfect. Thank you very much for posting this video, you saved me money and now I can change the packing in less than 2 hours myself.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Graham Spencer I am glad that I was able to help you out. I will make one suggestion. If the lower ball was damaged, this could mean that your carbide ball seat is damaged. If in time, you have a pressure issue, check the lower ball for damage. If the ball is damaged, then the seat should be flipped over or replaced. The carbide seat is the thick "washer" that the ball sit on.

[@frankchordas7456]

F Chordas My sprayer sat idle for two years and would not pump even though it is immaculate inside and out. I think that the ball was stuck in the cage inside the piston. Anyway this video allowed me to dismantle and re assemble the fluid section and now it works. Saved me the cost of sending it to a repair shop.

[@drums4jay]

Excellent instructional video! You definitely know your stuff. The only issue I had was putting the piston back in. My vice wasn't wide enough and my ballpein hammer and wooden block didn't work (the wood started cracking). I finally got it when I used a 3 lb. hammer with a 1" diameter dowel rod...went right in.

[@jonathanives8200]

[@jon-xq2lc]

This guy did a great job explaning this,, But learn how to do this yourself Painters , Sherwin Williams will not take the time of cleaning the inside of the areas that need packed, I don't mean the outside, SW charge 300 bucks to do this simple job, But they will never clean it like YOU will , it takes them 20 minutes for this job, thats nice money and SW wants as many rigs to come in for this service... SW does bare minnium and ship it out the door, This was great video explaining this DIY , The paint is expensive enough, You can do this.. I learned the hard way before youtube. : )

[@jeffhaman9010]

I recently repacked my 440 thanks to your video, then I ran about 10 gallons through it, then I removed the fluid section from the machine (had to fit equipment for a cabinet job into my Camry- 1800 miles each way), and didn't reassemble for about 60 days. After reassembly the pump wouldn't suck up any paint through the siphon tube. None. I removed the siphon tube, and one of the two o-rings on the tube had been destroyed when I had reassembled it. I replaced both o-rigs with OEM o-rings. Now the pump was able to suck up a small amount of paint, but it was only a very small amount of paint coming through the prime hose. Then I poured paint into the suction hose (probably about a 1/2 cup or so) and then the pump did push paint through the prime tube, and also the spray hose outlet nipple (I didn't have a spay hose attached). There was no paint on the piston, or anywhere else noticeable on the fluid section. None of the hoses are clogged. The o-ring on the foot valve that the pusher stem slides on to is good. The transducer is plugged in like it should be. I also blew compressed air through the prime hose to see if the prime valve was opening and closing like it should be. It was. What should be the next thing that I should look at?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

First, use water when trying to figure out a problem. A lot less messy to deal with. Second, when you fill the suction hose, the material flowed through the outlet nipple and out the prime valve? If yes, then put a hose and gun on the machine. Set it up as if you are going to flush it with water. Fill the suction hose again, then drop it in the water bucket. Open prime valve, turn machine on. Once you see water come from the prime hose for about 10 seconds, turn prime valve off and see if it builds pressure.

[@jeffhaman9010]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy I let the water come out of the prime hose for 10 seconds, flipped the prime valve, but the pump wouldn't build pressure.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@jeffhaman9010 if everything was working good, then just stopped building pressure, most likely the upper or lower ball is stuck, or has a piece of trash stuck in it. Make sure the lower ball is free. Then check the upper ball. Do not remove the piston, just remove the ball retainer and seat. Remove the ball and make sure nothing is in the piston. Then reassemble.

[@jeffhaman9010]

Upper ball was stuck. Also, the piston had started to wear the lip on the lower part of the lower packing, and there was a piece of it hanging out in the foot valve area. It looked like part of a teflon o-ring or something, and I thought "oh crap, I did a bad job when I repacked it." Actually the upper ball was stuck, and the cage that it sat in had started to fail. I thought I took your advise and had ordered a Bedford repack kit (in January), but when it arrived in the mail, it wasn't labeled Bedford, it wasn't labeled with anything. It had shipped from MN, so I have no idea what it was. That kit included a plastic ball cage, and I used it, but thankfully I held on the the OEM metal composite ball cage. Thanks Brian for your help!

My unit wont't prime or siphon up paint, I believe it needs to be repacked as I have already set the lower ball loose from the seat, still does not work. Thanks for the vid I'll let you know what happens next

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Alexis Gonzalez there is also an upper ball that could be stuck as well. If you are not sure about the procedure on how to check this, contact me prior to your repack.

[@fraydcat]

Can you check the packings without replacing if they still look good? I had left insides of my sprayer not protected over a couple of winters and that resulted in the large ball rusting and pitting along with the foot valve housing that was badly rusted... The packings looked perfect, this is a unit that rarely gets used and prob has a total of 25 hours on it, if that... Does Bedford sell all these parts for the 440i? Also, what type of grease are you using for assembly?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@fraydcat any kind of grease is good. The packing will come with grease if you get them. To check the packing, prime it. Once the system stops pumping under pressure, it should hold for 30 seconds before another stroke. It may stroke right after the prime valve is turned off a couple cycles but wait. If the pumping stops, packing are good. If it keeps stroking packing are bad

[@fromthenorthwest]

Thanks for making this video. I just finished repacking the fluid section, but the machine still won't prime or even take up any water out of the bucket. I didn't replace the piston, could this be causing no uptake through the suction hose? I also haven't replaced the prime valve. I ran out of product the other day and the machine started sucking air, so I got down the ladder and turned it off like I normally would. This time it wouldn't take anything up after that.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

The piston has to be smooth with no damage. Before you do anything remove the pickup hose from the U shape tube. Lower this section in to a small pail with water. Start the machine and see if it will prime from there.

[@fromthenorthwest]

Good idea, why didn't I think of that. It sucked up water fine without the section assembly on. I reattached the suction assembly and it worked for a while. But has stopped working again. There was also some water leaking out from where it goes into the foot valve. Start hearing a couple loud knocking sounds inside the machine too, that can't be good. I'm a couple hours away from the closest Titan certified shop, but I may try to find one in town here. Thanks for all the help

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@fromthenorthwest exactly where was the water leaking from? If you have a leak, then that will draw air and prevent you from building pressure. Give me a bit more information.

[@fromthenorthwest]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy I'll take a look tomorow and see if i can pinpoint the leak. It seemed to be coming out somewhere near where the suction hose goes into the foot valve. I turned the pump off after i heard a couple loud knocking noises, almost like the piston was not in there straight or something. It ran for a couple minutes before the knocking started

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

What’s the best tool and correct size to remove the Manifold Filter on a Titan 640. Thank You!! Derek

Nice video. I dont have a sprayer yet but looking to get one. Im between the titan 440 or the graco 210. But I want something that I can overhaul when it needs to. Which one would you recomend from your experience working on this machines. Thank you.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

If I were to make a recommendation, I would suggest the Graco 390PC. The cost is less than the Titan. The piston is almost twice as long as the Titan so it does not have to stroke as rapidly to do the same work.

Most likely it is the transducer. If you have the impact series. It could be the small circuit board on the bottom. It is easiest to replace the transducer.

Hi Brian I was wondering if you sold replacement parts for a titan 440, I'm having issues finding a store that will order a part for me. I'm looking for the seal for the housing filter, it's the Teflon seal I need it cause without it paint pukes out of the bottom. I have looked on Amazon for the part either no luck.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Find me on Facebook. I do not like sharing info here. Use my name to search

[@pgrickly]

wow this has been vary helpful. I have repacked a 440i that i picked up as junk. Just using water to test it wont hold pressure (leaks out prime tube). That is only if you turn it up all the way. The pump seams to work fine turned up about half and has a green light indicating low pressure. Thing is it seams to have plenty of pressure. Is it possible it needs to be calibrated? also I have replaced the prime valve. Great video thanks

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

If you turn the pressure all the way and the machine builds pressure and stops. Then everything should be good. The green light indicates the higher pressure. Again, of it builds pressure on max and the machine stops, everyrhing should be good. If I am missing something please let me know.

[@pgrickly]

If i turn it past about half it looses pressure through the prime tube.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@pgrickly you need to check the pressure that is being built. If the pressure does not exceed about 3500 psi, then you have an issue with the prime valve. It may not be tight enough, gasket may be bad, or the seat in the block is damaged. If the pressure is trying to exceed 3500 psi, then you are getting too much pressure, if that is the case, the transducer may need to replaced. The key right now, you need ro check the pressure.

[@pgrickly]

will do. Also trying to make myself understood the leak is coming out at the prime tube hose. I will need to find a 4000 psi Gage and fasten it where i usually fasten my hose to the gun , correct?

[@pgrickly]

thanks a bunch

[@jasonbronson672]

I recently bought a titan impact 440 at an auction from a rental company, machine basically looks brand new doesn’t have a speck of paint on it but the issue I am having is the pressure dial constantly blinks yellow Evan when you turn the dial all the way up, which is indicating 0 to 250 psi and the machine doesn’t seem to be building pressure if this is a brand new machine that doesn’t appear to have ever been used but has been sitting for a couple years what could be causing the issue of not being able to build pressure or priming?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

I am sorry for the delay. YT is slow about notifying of comments. My first thought is the transducer needs replacing. I have a video on how to.

[@georgekaramolegos5345]

Very useful video. I own a graco st390 but I have lost the wet end .do you have any ideas where I can find a used one and the cost of it? Thank you

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

George Karamolegos you can still purchase all the parts from a certified repair shop or Sherwin Williams. There can be problems with buying used parts. There are problems that may be hidden and cause the machine to not function properly.

[@stchrisindy6166]

Brian, this is a great video. So much better than those that are using brand new machines. I have successfully completed this, but my machine will not hold pressure. I hear air sucking down near the intake elbow at the bottom of the machine. Will that cause the machine to continue to run?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

If you hear a "hissing" sound as the machine slows down on the stroke, try and determine if it is the up or down stroke. This will help.

[@stchrisindy6166]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy The sound is constant and continues for a few seconds after I shut the machine off. I've cleaned, inspected and lubricated the o-rings where the elbow connects to the inlet. They seem to be in decent shape. If I can find the right size I will replace them. Any other ideas? Is this why the machine will not hold pressure? It builds pressure and stops running, but just for a second or two before it starts running again. Thanks!!

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Can you tell if this occurs on the up or down stroke? I would check the lower ball for damage. Then remove the seat in the lower inlet housing and check the white O ring to ensure it is not damaged. Also look at the prime house to insure the pressure is not leaking through the prime hose.

That poor machine looks like it's 30 years old 😝. I just bought a clean 440 Impact for a great price, but it does not prime. With this vid I'll get it going😎.

fyi make sure you have the fluid valve" level.." in the vice ,putting packings in and use a socket the size of the packings to put packings in as well, just like you would a bearing . and clean the inside of your rig before you do this. but hey just my 2 cents

[@swordfish1120]

I have a Titan 440. I just got it out to use after being stored for the winter. It primed the paint, it pressurized, but it won’t spray. I’ve take it all apart and cleaned and lubed everything. Any ideas on why it won’t spray? Is it the gun?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

If the machine will pressurize but not spray, then you have a clog. Remove gun and check if the hose will free flow with water. If it does, the gun is clogged

[@jeffgautney]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy Water will flow through the gun so how do I unclog it? Thoughts?

[@jeffgautney]

When I say water will run through it, I mean from the hose through just the gun. If I prime water and try to spray it, it won't spray. But if I remove the gun from the hose, pull the trigger, and put the water hose at the base of the gun, water flows through it. So where is it clogged and how do I clean it?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

@@jeffgautney so if water is running through the hose but not the gun, remove the handle where the filter is located and make sure the handle is not clogged. Look in the head where the handle screws on and make sure it is clean. Do not use sharp metal tools to clean it. It can damage the surface. Remove the tip and housing when you have cleaned it all and build pressure to maximum and pull trigger to push the rest of the clog out

The carbide seat is damaged. This would be the metal ring that the ball sits on. Take the ring out (looks like a fat washer) and flip it over and put a new ball in.

The packing kit is Titan 704-586. The bevels help with insertion so the packing is not damaged during insertion of packing or the piston. Make sure the inside lips of the upper packing are pointing down and the lower packing lips point up. Do not use any packing kit other than Titan or you can use Bedford aftermarket kits as well

For all your digging on Chinese parts 440s are made in China like most other Titan. I like Graco but TriTech makes the best pumps, no comparison between a 440 and a TriTech T4 night and day difference in quality.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

My "digging on Chinese parts" has never been directed at the manufacture of spray equipment. Is has always been directed at after market parts for service and repair. With that said, yes there was a time when a few, not like "most other Titans" as you stated, were produced in China. The 400, 440, 540, 640 were produced in China for a short time. Titan found that production did NOT meet their quality control or expectations of users and certified repair shops. They no longer produce or assemble their products in China. As with almost every manufacturer today, Titan does use parts that are manufactured outside the US to Titans specifications, but they are assembled in The US by Titan. I stand by my comment of Chinese junk in reference to service parts in the aftermarket. My videos are made to aid an owner in maintenance of their machines as closely to the manufacturers recommendations as possible. If someone chooses to play Russian roulette with Chinese junk, that is their choice.

[@justinm4219]

@@Brian_the_repair_guy I agree. I stopped selling Titan years ago and don't really service them at all anymore, Sherwin sold them the pump so let them ship it off for service. TriTech and Graco are the only quality products I would consider. Hopefully we see more manufacturers return to USA in the next decades! Btw I don't have complete sales numbers but I would wager models 440-640 are in the neighborhood of 75% of Titan sales

[@coronadoegsi]

Brian I repacked my 440i everything went smoth as your video. I followed all the directions step by step but the sprayer is not pumping at all. Any suggestions on what tu check? Motor turns but it doesnt suck paint at all.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

coronadoegsi remove the pick up tube from the bottom and stick your finger in to make sure the ball is free moving. Take a large cup full of water and place the pick up in the cup without the pick up hose. Open the prime valve and turn the machine on. If it pulls water, stop and reassemble. If it does not, tap the metal tube (fluid section) with a hammer 4 or 5 times, while it is running in the water. If it does not pick up after that, remove the lower fluid section a d check the upper ball to make sure it is free.

[@coronadoegsi]

Brian Shumack I just did all that. The ball is free the packing looks all good in place is all tight but still not sucking any water. I dont see what else could I check ? The piston ball maybe ?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

coronadoegsi yes, check the piston ball. When you check to see of the machine primes, do it without the pick up tube. Put a large cup of water under the fluid section.

I have a Titan 440. I turn the switch on, power comes on but the motor doesn’t turn. Can you recommend anything? Thanks.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Ronnie Jabar my first thought would be the transducer. If the transducer is bad, the machine will light the LED but with usually not turn the motor on. Depending which 440 you have the transducer part number will vary. The most common part is 704-492.

[@LUckybones25]

how much do you usually charge a customer to do a repack and replace the piston?

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Chuck H thanks for the question, but I don't discuss pricing for labor and parts. The reason for this, every area is different. If I were to give a price, it would be based on the cost of living in this area. If you take that info to say, New York, where the COL is much higher, then the cost seems low. On the other hand, that cost would seem extremely high in an area with a much lower COL. What I will say is, I charge 1 hour labor plus parts on most machines. The labor increases to as much as 2 hours on larger or gas powered machines.

Hello Brian my 440 Titan is leaking at the manifold is that a washer issue or what thank you

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Randolph Mccray 704-297 or 560-038. One of these O rings need to be replaced in the filter base. If you have the large filter housing, approximately 2" in diameter use part 704-297. If you have the small filter housing, approximately a 1" diameter, use part 560-038. When you remove the housing check the very end. Make sure their is no scratches or scaring. That could be the cause and would require replacement. When installing the O ring, do not use sharp or metal tools. That could damage the O Ring. Make sure you take note to which groove the O ring comes from to ensure you install it in the correct one.

useing wrench back to front

[@BobSoloMan]

I’m about to take my 440i apart. It hasn’t been used much, is 6yrs old and I clean it very well each use (remove tower filter, gun head/filter and flush till perfectly clear) and I keep it oiled with TSL. I don’t use it very much since I Paint apartments and have a smaller rig I prefer (old Sherwin Spray Tech I think...label is wore off). I went to use the titan today and it won’t pull water. Removed intake tube and Ball is freely moving. Ugh. I never used the prime valve except during cleaning to assure a good flushing. I’m going to check that plastic cage bearing/ball. I’m guessing that’s the Achilles heel here.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

Bob SoloMan usually when a machine sits for a long period the upper and lower ball will stick. You have already freed up the lower ball. The upper ball can be freed by removing the lower ball housing. Look up inside the fluid section and you will see a hexagonal hole in the piston. Easily slide a small screwdriver in the hole until you touch the ball. Then put pressure on the ball till the ball loosens. When you reattach the lower housing put a bit of water in it, then screw it on. Remove your pressure hose and try priming it up. Be aware when it primes is will spew water from the hose fitting. When you store the machine, pump RV antifreeze in the machine. This will help prevent this.

[@BobSoloMan]

Ron Nash the transducer is either hung up, or it is the older style that has the long wire. Remover the 4 screws at the pressure control. Pull the panel and you will see either a jumper wire with a large connector or the long wire transducer plugged in. Disconnect at the jumper or at the board.

Hey Brian- I'm finding it impossible to dial in the pressure for a brand new (actually I've tried two new ones, a 308 and 310, purchased a year apart) fflp tip. The machine is running well.

First of all you did no cleaning....that's part of the hourly rate you charge. You used crap packing, you had packing grease and you didn't grease the packings. 90 percent of the 440s I work on the filter is in backwards and you never took to filter off. Putting the piston through the packing without the piston guide on it is just dumb, How about do it the right way, that's what you are paid to do.

[@Brian_the_repair_guy]

My hourly rate for repack does not include cleaning. The "crap" packings you mentioned are Bedford Precision. The only parts made outside of Titan and Graco that can be used without voiding g the warranty. I give my customers choice to be cost effective. I did infact use grease. At minute 27:20 I begin using grease from my bulk container. Putting the piston in without the guide is not hard, with mor experience you will find the taper on the shaft makes it easy. The video was about the repack, no other topics were discussed.

[@mrchezze84]

@Brian_the_repair_guy Bedford are crap packings......I saw you put grease on the rings of the packing not grease the inside of the packing. If you used OEM you would realize that.....as far as cleaning you are leaving all that junk inside the fluid section when you put it back together, that obvious. Cleaning should not be a option.... you are sherworks. I'm sure you charged a minimum of 1 hour to do 15 minutes of work........

[@mrchezze84]

@Brian_the_repair_guy as far as experience goes.....16 years of repair work is enough to know cleaning is not a option. Early on in my repair work I to did not use the piston guide and the edge of the piston ripped the upper packing....lesson learned.

[@mrchezze84]

@Brian_the_repair_guy and no you didn't talk about the filter but that is part of the packing process because if it's In Backwards that causes strain on fluid movement and wears the packins and piston faster.
