Wagner / Titan won't spray

Step by step instructions on how to get your Wagner Titan airless to prime and spray. Skip to 9.10 for Graco pump

[@PugFaceMedia]

Yours is tbe only video that fixes the problem without the repacking kit. The trick is freeing the upper AND lower ball. The lower ball is easy to access but your method gives access to the ball inside the piston. Also, I didn’t need to remove the cage however as mine was clean. After freeing the second ball in the piston, I sprayed brake parts cleaner all over both balls to make them extra clean. Works like a new unit now. To avoid the balls freezing in the future, it’s important to clean thoroughly until clear water comes out of gun, then suck up some full strength pump armor before storage. Cheers!

Wow dude you just saved me 400 dollars. I did exactly what you did and mine had a piece of rust keeping the ball space opened.

[@jimmypadgett1460]

I had not used my 440 in about 1 year. It would not prime. I watch your video and did what you said, now it works fine. Thanks for your help

[@Maxkil]

Mine stopped priming, thanks to your video I pulled it apart, found the dried paint around the ball. Fixed it !Thanks so much.

[@nicholasspaeth9790]

Thank you so much! My Titan 440 had been sitting for over 10 years and wouldn't prime. I wasn't willing to give up and try to go to bed tonight with the thought that I might be using rollers to do the whole job tomorrow. Fortunately, I found your video and it gave me confidence to find the problem. Just needed to poke the little ball with a screw driver to free it up and wipe a little loose rust and grime out of the lower ball and seat assembly. Only problem now is the water came flowing out of the selector, until I switched to spray mode. Will take a closer look tomorrow morning. Worst case, I'll just be ready with a bag of old towels.

[@chrisjarvis3955]

Thanks for this! I have a titan xt250 and this gave me the confidence to pull it apart. I’m a carpenter by trade so I’m always Leary or pulling machines I don’t understand apart. Much appreciated

[@davidquint2512]

Hey thanks for this video. You saved me from having to take it to the pump repair shop.

[@wirth15]

Mate this saved me big time. Thanks so much! Turns out that bearing on my gun was completely locked up

[@jaynorth3258]

Thanks for the video mate, I bought a new titan 440 and it wouldn't prime or spray" brand new out the box" I took it apart & whatever assembly grease they used gummed up around the ball seat I scraped the dry grease off with my fingernail & a shop rag. I put it back together and she runs fine.

[@maxted13]

Cheers for the tutorial. I'll try to disassemble mine tomorrow. It's been playing up 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mikefoote5452]

thank you for giving a very clean clear and straight instruction good teacher.

[@igorkuzmanovski5552]

Thank you for the video helped get the sprayer going!!

[@jenniferfowler2132]

Best explanation! Thank you

[@doranshafiee927]

You are a legend mate, your video really helped me . However, I have fallowed exactly your instructions with my Wagner 321 and re assemble it but it spray and then lose the pressure . Please guide me of what is the issue with my sprayer ! Thanks Ali

[@westsprayairless8763]

If its not a blockage in the valves, you'll need to take it to a workshop to go through it. Too many different things it can be.

[@nikpappas248]

You are a legend Ali 👍👍👍👍👍 Just saved me a massive headache… it was the exact problem and the exact machine I have .. New Subcscriber and customer 👍👍👍

[@williamwinsor7376]

I get pumps destroyed by being left in water constantly. I have a graco 390 ultra that I have used to death with two repacks and the cylinder and piston are still smooth with a slight swage. I clean and thoroughly fill with thinner with a little bit of red trans fluid mixed.

[@robertapostolovski1628]

Thank you very much

[@wasausky5032]

Hey Ali did the clean up and everything what you mentioned but still getting stock no prime should I replace everything for new parts??

[@dave1secondago]

[@westsprayairless8763]

Glad to be of assistance

[@dave1secondago]

thanx again

[@danweekes9553]

Great video helped us out !!!!!

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

why is paint still coming out when i shut off the prime tube valve ..is my prime valve clogged or broken...

[@westsprayairless8763]

Thats the correct answer to your question. Disassemble it and inspect

[@rapanraut620]

Hi Mate.Thank you For the video. I need to trouble shoot a problem on my Wagner3.29 pro spray. It was okay before but now it turns 360 all way round when I try to switch from prime to spray. The machine Goes to spray mode when I don’t press the trigger but as soon I press the gun trigger it automatically goes to prime mode but still I can see some water from gun but no water comes the prime hose even when the Machine is in prime. Plz assist me.

[@webpro607]

Hi, Do you know where i can get a replacement motor for the ps3.21? what is the motor model #?

[@toyotrustPR]

Great video thank you

[@user-zv8tl5dx1g]

I have the same machine ,while spraying the power goes off and will not turn on: sometimes it will turn on in 10 min some times next day, what is the reason?

[@westsprayairless8763]

You'd need to take it to a service centre to tell you, could be a number of things

[@khattabvanexaerde2628]

Thx

[@shaunpeneamene5826]

You are the man

[@jfcalix]

I guess you just fixed mine also

[@ThePa1nterhowto]

I have a three wagner 3.21, only one running now, so just pulling one apart and having trouble, you helped a lot. Thanks Where can i get cheap kits for them?

[@westsprayairless8763]

ThePa1nter i dont recommend the cheap kits, get the genuine kit and i recommend changing the piston as well as the packing kit

[@kandacewoods6279]

Thanks bro. It works now!

[@westsprayairless8763]

Glad to hear it.

Thanks

Hi

[@Rikkkoooo]

hi, i have 4 sprayers, 2 grecco and 2 titan, both are well clean but they stop sucking paint every 2 or 3 minutes while spraying and i have to hit it with hammer to make them work, what might be the problem?

[@westsprayairless8763]

Damaged, dirty or worn valves, each machine has two, 1 at the bottom, the other is in the piston rod.

[@hyoga8340]

Thank u Sr.

[@magicodiaz4587]

Thank man

[@timallen3496]

Hi Arley, mate my machine isn't priming, I've cleaned out the bottom as in your video but the ball above the piston ball I believe you called it isn't moving and seem stuck in the up position, any hints on what to do as I don't have time to put in for service as I've got a priority job that needs to be finished in a week and I'm relying on the airless to get the job done in time.

[@alielhaouli3198]

Unfortunately you need to take it into a service centre, I don't recommend any more than the video if you don't have the knowledge as the damage you can do can go from minor to major repairs

[@timallen3496]

@@alielhaouli3198 Thanks , I actually did it and found it extremely basic, I suppose there are some that couldn't do it but most painters I know are pretty handy.

[@Cratos98]

Hello man i have a question is wagner ps 3.20 the same as titan 440i? Thanks in advance

[@westsprayairless8763]

I believe so

Remove the valve housing, make sure its all clean then try again.

[@terrypowesellshomes]

Thanks. Having prime issues on my 440. I will try this. Also my 395graco primes is weak. Same fix???

[@westsprayairless8763]

Yes try this first, good luck with it all

[@neogx148]

I know this isn't a titan 440i but maybe you would have some general idea of what to look with my problem. my titan 440i motor keeps smoking and blowing the fuse. i pulled it apart and see that the brushs on the motor are heating up and smoking then blowing the fuse . would you have any ideas what it could be?

[@westsprayairless8763]

It could be worn brushes or a board issue, usually this is caaused by using a bad power supply or a generator which is not recommended, otherwise its wear and tear.

[@neogx148]

@@westsprayairless8763 I didnt think the brushes were that worn till you mention it I looked at it again and at new ones online it looks about half the size of a new one . Ill give it a try and see what happens. I already replaced the capacitors. Thanks for the reply !!

[@groovygringo3747]

Do you have any tips for an old sprayer like a Wagner 505?

[@westsprayairless8763]

You can use any tips as long as you use the correct tip guard to suit the tip and your gun

[@groovygringo3747]

@@westsprayairless8763 no I meant any tips on how to take it apart. I got one today from an old painter. Its a diaphragm pump not a piston pump. But it doesn't do anything when I turn it on it won't prime or suck paint.

[@westsprayairless8763]

@@groovygringo3747 sorry I didn't get the question. Yes first remove and inspect the inlet and out let valves. While they're out, inspect movement in the diaphragm, you should get more movement as you raise the pressure and less as you dial it down. If this doesn't happen, don't go any further because the cost of repairs will quickly surpass the actual value of the sprayer.

[@groovygringo3747]

@@westsprayairless8763 okay thank you. So how do I tell if the diaphragm is any good? I posted a video on my channel of the sprayer if you don't mind taking a look it's my most recent video.

[@stevendimakos9211]

Hi Ali can you please offer me some help regarding Wagner project pro 119 spray unit . After cleaning inlet and outlet valve thoroughly machine still fails to prime completely. Machine won't even prime an inch of water. Would you suggest a pump kit is required? Their are no signs of pump leakage Really would appreciate your urgent feed back. Thanks , Steve

[@westsprayairless8763]

steven dimakos if your outlet valve ball (located in the piston) and inlet valve ball and seat are moving freely then you'll need a pump repair kit. This include piston and packing. To be sure of this, after checking the valves are free, put your palm underneath the suction valve with the inlet valve assembly removed, and turn your power on. If there is no suction against your palm, then you definitely need a rebuild

[@stevendimakos9211]

Thanks for responding so quickly you are an asset to the industry. I look forward to watching more of your videos on you tube. Thanks
