A CapSpray turbine makes low-pressure air, an air hose carries it to the gun, and the air atomizes the coating drawn from the cup, so there is no fluid pump. The air runs at 7.5 to 11.5 psi maximum, depending on the model. The parts are split across four diagrams: Main, Turbine, Upper Housing and Lower Housing.
Air, not fluid pressure, does the atomizing
An airless sprayer forces coating through a tip at very high fluid pressure. A CapSpray does it the other way round. Coating sits in the cup, and a stream of air from the turbine breaks it into a fine mist at the gun. That is HVLP, high volume at low pressure, and Titan's maximum air pressures run from 7.5 psi on the CapSpray 75 up to 11.5 psi on the 115.
Because the air is doing the work, everything between the turbine and the gun is about delivering clean air in volume. That is why the system is split into four units, and why a problem in one often looks like a problem in another.
The turbine
The turbine is the electric motor and fan assembly that makes the air. Titan names the models by stage count: 3-stage on the 75, 4-stage on the 95, 5-stage on the 105 and 6-stage on the 115, with air pressure rising at each step. There is a filter at each end, a pre-filter plus an automotive-type air filter, and a dirty-filter light that comes on when air flow drops.
Inside, the motor has brushes. Titan's manuals call for the brushes to be checked by an authorized service center every 400 hours, and the 0277243 motor brush kit is on every model's Turbine Assembly diagram. The turbine itself is not a home-repair item beyond what your manual shows. On the 95 Turbine Assembly page it is 0524289A, with its can seal, spring, spacers and motor shroud seal.
The air hose and whip
The air hose runs from the turbine outlet to the gun inlet. The 95 comes with a 30 ft hose, and Titan lists the 105 and 115 with a 30 ft hose plus a 5 ft whip hose. The manuals say never to connect the short whip hose directly to the turbine, because it will be damaged, so the main air hose is the one that goes on the turbine outlet.
The hose parts are listed on the X 105 and X 115 Main Assembly diagrams as 0277337, a 30 ft flex hose, and 0524405A, a 5 ft whip hose. The classic 105 and 115 Main Assembly pages do not list hoses, so call (713) 931-0006 with your model before ordering one.
The gun and cup
The gun is where air and coating meet. Titan ships the 75 and 95 with a Maxum II gun and the 105 and 115 with a Maxum Elite. Both have an air adjustment knob and a fluid adjustment knob, switch between pencil and fan patterns, and use different needle-nozzle sets for different viscosities. Titan calls that set a projector or pro set: a needle, a fluid nozzle and an air cap.
The two guns are on the Main Assembly pages as 0524041 (Maxum II with cup) and 0524027 (Maxum Elite). To match a coating to a nozzle set, use the 0153165 viscosity cup: dip it, time the drain, then read the manual's chart. We do not give times here because they depend on the chart for your gun.
Setup order
Place the turbine
Put it as far from the spray area as you can. The manuals give the reason: the turbine has parts that can spark.
Plug into a grounded outlet
Use a grounded 3-slot receptacle, as the manuals require. For extension cords, follow your manual's cord gauge and length rules.
Connect the air
Fit the air hose from the turbine outlet to the gun inlet, and never connect the whip hose straight onto the turbine. Your manual shows where the whip fits on models that have one.
Read your manual
The remaining steps for your exact model, including gun adjustment, are in the owner's manual on our manuals page.
Where each part sits on the diagrams
Start from the CapSpray Series page, choose your model, then one of four diagrams:
- Main Assembly: filter cans, filters, silencers, sealing foam, the guns and the viscosity cup. See the 115 Main Assembly.
- Turbine Assembly: the turbine, brush kit, seals and spacers.
- Upper Housing: on/off switch, circuit breaker, air flow switch, warning light, handles and toolbox.
- Lower Housing: the power cord (0524592), exhaust hose, clips and feet. See the 95 Lower Housing.

The Short Version
Turbine makes the air, hose carries it, gun and cup atomize the coating. Keep the turbine away from the spray area, never put the whip hose straight on the turbine, and find any part by choosing your model and then Main, Turbine, Upper Housing or Lower Housing.
