Our hose pages sort Titan airless hose into five pressure classes: 3300, 3600, 4500, 6500 and 7500 psi, plus separate pages for air-assisted and air spray hose. Match the hose to the lowest working-pressure rating in your system, not to the gun alone, and use only airless-rated hose as the manufacturer specifies.
Why the hose rating matters
Airless spraying works at very high fluid pressure, and a hose carries all of it between the sprayer and the gun. The rule that governs every choice below is simple: never run any component above the lowest working-pressure rating in the system. That covers the hose, gun, tip guard, fittings and swivel. If your hose is rated lower than the rest, the hose sets the limit for the whole setup. Use only airless-rated hose, and use conductive or grounded hose as the sprayer's manufacturer specifies.
The five airless classes
Our hose pages are arranged by the psi class printed in the part name. The part counts are the number of listed parts on each page, and the examples show how the names read.
Titan airless hose pages by pressure class
| Class | Parts on the page | Examples from the page |
|---|---|---|
| 3300 psi | 11 | 316-505 50' Spray Hose, 0291006 3300 PSI Hose 50' x 3/8" |
| 3600 psi | 2 | 0286499 50' x 3/8", 0286498 50' x 1/4" |
| 4500 psi | 10 | 2389425 50' x 1/2" |
| 6500 psi | 10 | Whip hoses such as 2389440 |
| 7500 psi | 8 | Whip hoses such as 2389456 |
Lengths and diameters are shown only where they are printed in the part name. If a name has no size, open the product page or call us before ordering.
Each class page mixes full-length hoses with shorter whip hoses, so there is more than one number to choose from in every class. The part name carries the class, but check the length and diameter on the product page, because the same class has several.
Whip hose
A whip hose is the short hose at the gun end of the line. Titan's gun, hose and tip kits for the RX-80 and RX-Pro include a 3 ft whip hose after the main hose, and our class pages list whips in every class: 316-506 in 3300 psi, 2389428 and 2389430 in 4500 psi, 2389442 in 6500 psi and 2389450 in 7500 psi. A whip hose has its own rating, so it counts toward the lowest-rating rule as well. Fitting a 7500 psi main hose with a 3300 psi whip leaves the system at 3300 psi.
Air-assisted and air spray hose
Two more hose groups are not airless. The Air-Assisted Airless Spray Hose page is for air-assisted airless guns such as the GM 3600 and lists a bonded hose, 0524333 50', a hose assembly and a 5 ft fluid whip hose, 0550861. The Air Spray Hose page lists a fluid hose and the 0295689 air spray hose. These carry air or fluid for HVLP and air-assisted guns, so do not substitute them for an airless hose, and do not use an airless hose for air spray work without checking the manual.
Swivels and kinking
A swivel at the gun end lets the hose turn instead of twisting. Titan's high-pressure swivel is rated 5000 psi (34.5 MPa) with a 1/4 in. NPS thread, and Titan says it decreases resistance while spraying and reduces hose kinking. Titan also lists a swivel head, rated 3600 psi (24.8 MPa), that rotates 260 degrees. Titan does not describe other causes of kinking, so we do not guess at them. A swivel's rating counts toward the lowest-rating rule too.
Match hose to gun and sprayer
Kit hoses show how the rule plays out. Titan's RX-80 and RX-Pro kits include a 3300 psi hose, which is below the 3600 psi Titan lists for those guns, so the hose is the limit of the kit. Titan's RX-Apex kit 538073 includes a 6500 psi hose, matching a gun rated 5000 psi. Titan does not publish a replacement interval for hoses, so we do not give one. Inspect and replace on the condition of the hose, and follow your manual.
Find your sprayer's rating
It is in your sprayer's manual.
Note the gun, swivel and guard ratings
Use our gun and accessories pages and your manuals to list each part's rating.
Pick the lowest, then choose a hose at or above it
Choose the class page whose psi class meets that figure, and the length and diameter your job needs. Do the same for the whip hose.
Ask before you guess
Call (713) 931-0006 with your sprayer and gun model if the choice is unclear.

The Short Version
Choose a hose by its pressure class, check the whip hose and swivel too, and never exceed the lowest rating in the system. For hose lengths and fitment, call (713) 931-0006.
