A Maxum projector set is a matched needle, fluid nozzle and air cap, numbered #2 to #7, and each gun has its own part numbers for them. Both guns ship with a #3 Pro Set. The Maxum II manual suggests #5 for latex, #4 for oil and metal primer, and #3 for varnish, polyurethane and lacquer. Check your manual and the gun type before you order.
What a projector set is
The Maxum II manual describes the set as a pairing of needle assemblies, fluid nozzles and air caps. Titan, which also calls it a Pro Set, says the right needle, nozzle and projector set should be matched to the coating you are spraying, and that the parts are all metal. Both the Maxum II and the Maxum Elite are supplied with a #3 Pro Set, so the first set you own is a #3 whichever gun you have.
The number tells you which of the sizes the set is. Sets run from #2 to #7. We do not give nozzle sizes in millimetres or inches, because we have no published figures to quote. Rely on the set number and on the coating guide below instead.
Set numbers and part numbers
The two guns have separate part numbers for each set. Order from the column for your gun.

Choosing by coating: the Maxum II manual's guide
The Maxum II manual includes a table that matches coatings to sets. This is the manual's guidance, not a rule we can add to, and it is from one source, so use it as a starting point and read the manual for your gun.
Projector set by material, per the Maxum II manual
| Material | Set |
|---|---|
| Latex | #5 |
| Oil | #4 |
| Varnish | #3 |
| Polyurethane | #3 |
| Lacquer | #3 |
| Metal primer | #4 |
The manual's table is the source. The coating maker's data sheet should also be consulted, and thinning should only be done as the coating maker allows.
The Maxum II manual's troubleshooting section also ties a set that is too small to a symptom: a gun that spits can have material that is too thick or a projector set that is too small. So if a gun spits, the set number is one of the things the manual says to check, along with the check valve and the thickness of the material.
Loose parts on the diagrams
A set does not wear out as one piece. The needle, the nozzle and the air cap can be bought on their own. Some of the loose parts on our site are:
Loose needle, nozzle and air cap parts
Our site also lists other single items, such as the 0276447 #2 needle assembly, the 0524284A #4 needle assembly and air caps for sets #4 and #5. Check the exact title and your gun type, and never push metal tools or picks into the air cap or nozzle when you clean them, as the Maxum II manual warns.
Match the set to the gun
The Maxum II and Maxum Elite sets are listed under different numbers, so we do not say a set from one fits the other. The #3 air nozzle and air cap appear on both guns' diagrams, which is helpful, but it is not a statement that whole sets cross over. Use the diagram for your gun, or call (713) 931-0006 with the gun's model and we will confirm the match.
After the first set
Titan's Maxum II Standard Maintenance Kit 279942 contains #2 and #4 projector sets as well as a gun wrench, check valve seals, needle packing, a replacement check valve assembly, a cup gasket and an air plug. That makes it a way to add two sets and the common wear items in one order. The Deluxe version, 279941, is Titan's step up. For the Maxum Elite, Titan describes its Deluxe kit as a way to store multiple projector sets, seals and check valves in one spot.
