The Titan 440i


I'm looking for some personal takes on the Titan 440i
The salesman says this is the most popular sprayer out here

I still haven't run into any other painters to ask what they are using
I think they, like everyone else around here, hibernate for the winter

Thanks in advance for any input

Re: The Titan 440i


I have a titan 440i as a back up for my Titan 5500 I also use it for small interior jobs. I am very pleased with it and am confident it could handle a lot more then I give it to do.

I don't know how experienced you are with sprayers so I will say make sure you keep it clean. A little dried paint will cause problems.

Nice pump. I preferr mostly graco products. Not sure why but have had good success with them. The manifold filter is a must unless you like to strain all your paint from a 5 gallon bucket. We use a Graco spx for small jobs, graco gh230 gas/electric on large jobs and a graco xr7 for doors and frames oil only

Re: The Titan 440i


Thanks guys

Not a lot of experience with airless sprayers, I've not invested in one
I've rented them when I've needed them

I looked at the Gracos last summer, but managed to get by w/o buying one

Haven't found a Graco dealer up here, and my paint rep from my old town says the Titans are good

I appreciate the feed back, thanks

I have the Titan 440i that I use on a normal basis. This has been a great sprayer for me. Although, I do keep it extremely clean. I would recommend buying it!

Re: The Titan 440i


I own three 440i they are great for small jobs like wood frames, doors, hollow metal frames, cabinets. I Would not use any other sprayer. But for larger jobs i would stick with Graco. As far as cleaning your machine they are no different than any other sprayer.
