Shop Genuine OEM Titan Airless Spray Tip Guards
Shop Titan Tip Guards for professional airless spray-gun and tip configurations. Titan documents No Build, High Pressure, Adjustable and Flat Tip guard designs for specific interfaces and tip systems. The correct guard must match the installed spray gun, guard interface, spray-tip technology, seal or retainer arrangement and maximum system pressure. Titan instructs operators to use a tip safety guard for added protection against injection, while warning that the guard alone cannot prevent injection injury. Always relieve spray-system pressure before assembling, changing, cleaning or servicing the gun, tip or tip guard.
Titan Tip Guard Types & Pressure Ratings
Titan manufacturer literature distinguishes its guards by tip system, interface and maximum working pressure. A higher pressure rating does not make one guard universally interchangeable with another.
| Titan Part Number | Guard Type | Documented Interface | Tip System | Maximum Working Pressure | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0289228 | No Build Guard | 7/8 in. | Compatible guard/tip configuration must be verified at the gun | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa | Titan documents interchangeability with most industry spray guns; complete tip/system compatibility must still be checked. |
| 661-027 | High Pressure Tip Guard | 7/8 in. | High-pressure guard configuration | 7,700 PSI / 53 MPa | Use only where the gun, tip and complete pressure-bearing system are appropriately rated. |
| 450-100A | Adjustable Tip Guard | 7/8-14 | Adjustable-tip guard class | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa | “Adjustable” identifies the guard/tip class; it should not be interpreted as a user-adjustable spray-angle mechanism. |
| 0153003 | Flat Tip Guard | 11/16-14 | Flat tips only | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa | Titan literature specifically identifies this interface for flat-tip use. |
Which Titan Tip Guard Do I Need?
Start with the spray gun and installed tip technology rather than the sprayer name alone. Titan guard families perform related safety and retention functions, but their interfaces, pressure ratings and intended tip systems differ.
| Guard Class | Consider When | Verify Before Ordering |
|---|---|---|
| No Build | The gun/tip configuration calls for Titan's standard 7/8-inch No Build Guard. | Gun interface, tip family, seal/retainer and system pressure. |
| High Pressure | The documented gun/tip system requires Titan's high-pressure guard class. | Every pressure-bearing component, not just the guard. |
| Adjustable | The installed tip system specifically calls for the adjustable-tip guard configuration. | 7/8-14 interface and exact tip/guard requirements. |
| Flat Tip | A conventional flat-tip system requires Titan's documented flat-tip guard. | Flat-tip interface, gun connection and pressure rating. |
Titan 0289228 No Build Tip Guard
Titan identifies 0289228 as its 7/8-inch No Build Guard with a maximum working pressure of 5,000 PSI (34.5 MPa). Titan's accessory literature describes an aerodynamic dimple design intended to improve airflow and reduce paint buildup around the guard.
| Titan Part Number | 0289228 |
| Manufacturer Description | No Build Guard |
| Documented Interface | 7/8 in. |
| Maximum Working Pressure | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa |
| Documented Design Features | Aerodynamic dimple design; large flats in the seal cavity; guard rotation without loosening from the gun; tool-free installation. |
| Gun Interface | Titan states that the guard is interchangeable with most industry spray guns. |
Manufacturer interchangeability language concerns the guard/gun interface. It does not establish universal approval for every Titan tip, seal, coating, sprayer or operating pressure.
Titan 661-027 High Pressure Tip Guard
Titan identifies 661-027 specifically as a 7/8-inch High Pressure Tip Guard. Manufacturer literature rates the guard to a maximum working pressure of 7,700 PSI / 53 MPa and describes it as interchangeable with most industry spray guns.
The 7,700-PSI figure is the guard's component rating. It is not a recommended spraying pressure and does not increase the pressure rating of the gun, spray tip, hose, fittings, manifold or sprayer.
Titan 450-100A Adjustable Tip Guard
Titan's accessories literature lists 450-100A under the Adjustable and Flat Tip Guard class with a 7/8-14 interface. That guard class is rated to a maximum working pressure of 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa.
Titan Flat Tip Guards
Titan manufacturer literature identifies 0153003 as a Flat Tip Guard and specifies an 11/16-14 interface for flat tips only. Titan's guard literature places the Adjustable and Flat Tip Guard class at a maximum working pressure of 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa.
| Part Number | 0153003 |
| Manufacturer Description | Tip Guard, Flat Tip |
| Interface | 11/16-14 |
| Tip Type | Flat tips only |
Conventional airless flat-tip guards should not be confused with specialized AirCoat hardware. For example, the GM3600 Brilliant Flat Tip configuration uses its own documented front-end components and should be selected from GM3600-specific documentation.
Titan G-Thread Tip Guards & Gun Interfaces
Some Titan parts lists and current catalog records identify 0289228 or its packaged form using G-Thread terminology. Titan's accessories literature separately describes 0289228 as a 7/8-inch No Build Guard. Because manufacturer publications use different naming conventions, buyers should verify the exact spray-gun outlet/interface and guard part number rather than assuming that the term “G-Thread” alone defines the required connection.
Titan 0289228, 0289228A & 661-012 Tip Guard Numbers
Titan parts records use several closely related guard numbers. These should be handled as manufacturer part-number and packaging references rather than assumed to be identical simply because the numbers appear together in equipment documentation.
| Number | Documented / Catalog Treatment | Buying Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 0289228 | Titan No Build Guard, 7/8 in. | Use the exact guard number shown by the applicable current gun/equipment documentation. |
| 0289228A | Appears in Titan/parts cataloging as a packaged guard number. | Do not infer additional package contents unless confirmed by manufacturer documentation. |
| 661-012 | Legacy guard number represented in current parts cataloging by 0289228A. | Verify the current order number against the specific equipment parts list before purchasing. |
Similar numbering does not by itself prove identical packaging, included seals or accessories. Order against the current manufacturer part reference for the installed gun or machine.
Guard Fit Does Not Mean Universal Spray-System Compatibility
A guard may physically connect to a spray gun without proving that every tip, seal, pressure level or sprayer configuration is approved. Correct selection requires checking the complete component chain.
Guard fit does not establish that every Titan tip fits the guard, that every seal is correct, that the gun supports the guard's maximum pressure, or that the selected tip is appropriate for the sprayer and coating.
How the Titan Tip Guard, Seal & Spray Tip Work Together
Titan RX-Pro documentation shows the reversible-tip front end as an assembled system rather than a guard operating by itself. The tip seal and seal are inserted into the back of the tip guard before the spray tip is installed. Other Titan gun or tip systems may use different hardware, so always follow the applicable gun manual.
When replacing a Titan airless tip guard, inspect the associated tip seal or seat and the spray tip for condition and correct identification. Do not assume every Titan guard uses the same seal or retainer.
Titan Tip Guard Pressure Ratings Explained
| Guard | Maximum Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 0289228 No Build Guard | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa | Maximum rating of the guard component. |
| 661-027 High Pressure Guard | 7,700 PSI / 53 MPa | Maximum rating of the high-pressure guard; not permission to operate the complete system at this pressure. |
| Adjustable / Flat Tip Guard Class | 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa | Maximum guard-class rating in Titan accessories literature. |
When Should a Titan Tip Guard Be Replaced?
A tip guard is safety-related hardware and should be kept correctly installed and serviceable. Before inspecting, removing or replacing the guard, Titan instructs operators to relieve pressure from the spray system and follow the sprayer's Pressure Relief Procedure.
| Inspection Point | Action |
|---|---|
| Guard missing | Do not spray without the appropriate tip safety guard installed. |
| Cracked, broken or visibly damaged | Replace with the correct guard for the gun and tip system. |
| Deformed or damaged interface | Verify the gun connection and replace damaged hardware. |
| Tip/seal cannot seat correctly | Inspect the guard, seal/retainer and tip against the applicable Titan manual. |
| Paint buildup interferes with assembly or operation | Relieve pressure and clean/service according to manufacturer instructions. |
Tip Guard Only vs Titan Tip & Guard Kit
Titan cataloging includes individual guards as well as packaged guards, tip-and-guard kits and separate seal/retainer kits. These are different purchasing configurations and should not be treated as interchangeable SKUs.
| Purchase Type | What to Verify |
|---|---|
| Guard Only | Exact guard PN, gun interface, tip family and required seal hardware. |
| Packaged Guard | Current packaged PN and manufacturer-confirmed contents. |
| Tip & Guard Kit | Exact included tip size, guard and manufacturer-defined kit contents. |
| Seat / Seal Kit | Compatibility with the installed guard and tip configuration. |
Titan's TR1 cataloging includes “G” tip-and-guard kit numbers for selected tip sizes. Verify the exact kit number rather than assuming that a bare tip or guard includes the other components.
Titan Tip Guard Product-Data Buying Check
Before buying a Titan airless tip guard, use the manufacturer parts list or gun manual as the technical authority. Category placement or a similar-looking guard is not sufficient evidence of compatibility.
Avoid unsupported universal claims that every guard reduces overspray, prevents clogging, improves finish quality, guarantees leak-free operation or fits every Titan sprayer. Apply manufacturer design claims only to the exact guard for which Titan publishes them.

Contractor Selection Insight
Do not choose Titan 661-027 simply because its 7,700-PSI rating is higher than the 5,000-PSI rating of 0289228. The correct guard is determined by the installed gun, required tip system, guard interface and allowable pressure of the complete spray system.
A higher guard pressure rating does not mean better compatibility. A physically fitting guard also does not automatically establish tip, seal or complete-system approval.

FAQ Section
Use these selection checks to identify the correct Titan guard and matching tip hardware before ordering.
How do I choose the correct Titan tip guard for my spray gun?Identify the exact spray gun first, then verify its guard interface, installed tip family, required seal or retainer, maximum system pressure and exact Titan guard part number. Do not select a guard solely from the sprayer model or because another guard physically appears to fit.
|
What is the difference between Titan 0289228 and 661-027 tip guards?Titan identifies 0289228 as a 7/8-inch No Build Guard rated to 5,000 PSI / 34.5 MPa. Titan identifies 661-027 as a 7/8-inch High Pressure Tip Guard rated to 7,700 PSI / 53 MPa. Choose according to the documented gun, tip system and complete-system pressure requirements rather than selecting 661-027 merely because its rating is higher.
|
Does a 7,700-PSI tip guard mean my sprayer can operate at 7,700 PSI?No. The 7,700-PSI / 53-MPa figure is the maximum working-pressure rating of the 661-027 guard. It does not increase the ratings of the gun, tip, hose, fittings or sprayer. The complete system must remain within the limit of its lowest-rated pressure-bearing component.
|
Will a Titan tip guard fit any Titan or industry-standard spray gun?Do not assume universal compatibility. Titan states that several documented guard classes are interchangeable with most industry spray guns, but physical guard/gun fit does not prove that every tip, seal or pressure rating is compatible. Verify the exact gun interface, tip family and manufacturer part number.
|
What is the relationship between the tip guard, spray tip and tip seal?In Titan reversible-tip assemblies such as the RX-Pro configuration, the tip guard works with the corresponding tip seal, seal or retainer and spray tip as an assembled front-end system. Other Titan tip systems can use different hardware, so verify the applicable gun manual and parts list rather than assuming one seal arrangement fits every guard.
