Most current Impact models ship with an RX-Pro gun, a 517 tip and a 1/4 inch by 50 foot hose. The maximum tip size depends on the model and runs from 0.021 inch on the smallest Impacts to 0.037 inch on the Impact 1640. Use a tip within your model's limit, replace it when the pattern degrades, and keep every hose and gun rated for the sprayer's pressure.
What ships in the box
Titan's product pages list the gun, tip and hose that come with each model. These are the ones we can state. For anything not listed here, check Titan's page or the manual for your model, and call us if you want a second opinion.
Included gear, as Titan's pages list it
| Model | Gun | Tip | Hose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact 640I/IA, 840I/IA, 1140I/IA | RX-Pro | 517 | 1/4 inch by 50 foot |
| Impact 740 and 1040 | RX-Pro | 517 | 1/4 inch by 50 foot |
| Impact 400 | RX-80 | 517 HEA or TR1 | Not stated here |
| Impact X 410 and X 440 | RX-80 | Not stated here | Not stated here |
| Impact X 540I | RX-Pro | 517 HEA | Not stated here |
| Impact 1640 | RX-Apex | 517 TR1 | 3/8 inch by 50 foot, plus a 1/4 inch by 6 foot whip hose |
Titan's original Impact 440 gun and hose are not confirmed in our sources, so no gun is named for the original 440 or 840.
Tip size limits
Every sprayer has a largest tip it can feed. A tip bigger than the pump's output drops the pressure and the pattern goes ragged. The limits below are Titan's maximum tip with one gun. On the 840, 1040, 1140 and 1640 Titan also gives a smaller maximum for two guns.
Maximum tip size, one gun

These are manufacturer maximums, not a promise for a particular coating. The tip size and thinning that suit your coating are on its data sheet.
Orifice size controls how much material is delivered, and fan angle controls how wide the pattern is. Thicker coatings generally need larger orifices, and fine finishes use smaller ones. The 517 tip in the box is a general-purpose size that sits well inside the limits above.
When to replace a tip
A worn tip has a wider orifice. Pressure falls, the pattern turns coarse or streaky, and the sprayer uses more paint to cover the same wall. Replace the tip when the pattern degrades, before you chase a pump problem. If a new tip fixes it, you saved yourself a fluid section job.
The small parts at the tip wear too. The 661-020 tip seat and seal kit (5 pack) is listed on the accessories page of every Impact model, and the 0289228 G-thread tip guard keeps your hand away from the jet. Reversible tips can clear a clog when you rotate the handle as the tip's instructions describe, with pressure relieved first.
Hose choices
The hose and every other component must meet or exceed the sprayer's pressure. Use airless-rated, grounded hose. The site lists three Impact hoses on the accessories pages:
- 316-505, a 50 foot spray hose.
- 316-506, a 3300 PSI whip hose, 5 foot by 3/16 inch.
- 0291006, a 3300 PSI hose, 50 foot by 3/8 inch.
Hose length is a pressure question as well as a reach question. Our model pages give 300 feet as the maximum hose length for the Impact 540, 640, 740 and 840. We do not state a maximum for the other Impact models, so check your manual.
Guns and gun filters
The site lists the 0538020 RX-Pro gun with a 517 TR1 tip, the 0538022 RX-Pro gun by itself, and the 2454979 RX-80 gun. The RX-Apex is the gun that ships with the 1640. Confirm the gun's pressure rating on its listing against your sprayer's maximum before you buy.
The gun filter is the last screen before the tip, and a dirty one causes spitting and a poor pattern. The site lists 0089957 (coarse, green, 2-pack), 0089959 (100 mesh, yellow) and 0089960 (extra fine, red). Pick the mesh that suits the coating, and clean the filter after every job.
Extensions
A tip extension helps reach ceilings and high walls. The site lists 651-070, a 6 inch tip extension with guard, and 2418848, a 5 inch gun extension. Check the extension's pressure rating against your sprayer's maximum before you fit it, and keep a tip guard on.
