PowrTwin 5500 — Gas Convertokits
When you prefer the mobility and power flexibility of a gas‑driven sprayer, the PowrTwin 5500 Gas Convertokit lets you run your 5500 model with a reliable gasoline engine, ideal for job sites without stable electric power or when you need maximum portability. This page gathers all genuine components required to convert or maintain a gas‑powered PowrTwin 5500, so you can select exactly the parts you need for installation, replacement or rebuild.
Key Components in the Gas Convertokit
Under the Gas Convertokit category for the 5500, the following genuine parts and components are included:
- Screw – part 860‑552 — OEM screws required for mounting and securing engine, plate, or pulley assembly.
- Flat Washer, 5/16″ – part 860‑004 — washers needed along with mounting screws to ensure secure and vibration‑resistant installation.
- Gas Engine (Honda 5.5 HP) – part 980‑331A — the core of the convertokit: a 5.5 hp gasoline engine to supply power for the 5500’s hydraulic pump/motor system.
- Key – part 980‑307 — key component for engine/pulley shaft coupling, required for drive transmission from engine to hydraulic pump.
- Pulley – part 980‑106 — drive pulley required for proper belt/power transmission to the hydraulic motor.
- V‑belt – part 449‑181 — V‑belt (or drive belt) used in the convertokit to transfer power from the gas engine via pulley to the hydraulic pump assembly.
These core components constitute a full convertokit, combining engine, drive components, mounting hardware and transmission belt, enabling your 5500 to operate on gasoline power smoothly and efficiently.
Why Using Genuine Gas Convertokit Components Matters
- Correct power‑train alignment and reliability — The OEM engine, pulley, key, belt, and mounting hardware are engineered to match the 5500‘s hydraulic drive system. This ensures smooth power transmission and reduces risks of misalignment, belt slippage or engine stress.
- Consistent performance on the job site — A genuine 5.5 HP gas engine provides the power required to drive the hydraulic pump under heavy load, maintaining spray pressure and flow even with thick coatings or long spray sessions.
- Ease of installation and maintenance — Since this is a full kit with all necessary mounting hardware (screws, washers, key, belt, pulley), installation or replacement becomes straightforward — no need to hunt for individual components.
- Durability and safety under load — Genuine parts meet Titan’s specifications for mechanical tolerances and pressure handling, reducing risk of premature wear, mechanical failure, or unsafe operation.
- Flexibility for remote or off-grid work — Gas-powered configuration lets you operate the sprayer anywhere — perfect for remote sites, large jobs, or areas without reliable electricity.
FAQs
1. What’s included in the PowrTwin 5500 Gas Convertokit?
The kit includes the Honda 5.5 HP gas engine (part 980‑331A), drive pulley (980‑106), V‑belt (449‑181), key (980‑307), and all necessary mounting hardware (screws 860‑552, washers 860‑004) for installation.
2. Can I convert an electric 5500 to gas using this kit?
Yes, this convertokit is designed to convert a PowrTwin 5500 to gas operation, replacing the electric motor with a gas engine and necessary drive components.
3. Are there other parts I need besides those in the kit?
No, the kit supplies all core components required for gas conversion. However, you should always inspect the hydraulic system and fluid‑pump assembly prior to conversion to ensure compatibility and optimal function.
4. Will using non‑OEM (aftermarket) parts work instead of the genuine convertokit?
It’s strongly recommended to use only genuine parts: aftermarket or mismatched components may cause improper alignment, reduced performance, belt/pulley wear, or even safety hazards under high hydraulic load.
5. Is the gas‑powered configuration suitable for heavy‑duty or industrial use?
Yes, the 5.5 HP Honda engine and genuine conversion kit components are designed to handle the demands of professional job‑site use, delivering stable hydraulic pressure and flow even under prolonged or heavy spraying tasks.
