Titan 0278303 Cam, Prime Spray

Titan 0278303 Cam, Prime Spray

Sourced From:
Titan Tools Inc.

 

SprayTech part 0278303 is a cam, prime spray – a mechanical component inside the prime / pressure relief valve assembly of compatible SprayTech airless sprayers. It converts rotational motion from the prime valve knob into linear movement that opens the relief valve, allowing the system to be depressurized or switched between spray and prime modes.

Cam, Prime Spray for SprayTech Airless EP2105 / EP2205 Sprayers

The SprayTech 0278303 Cam, Prime Spray is a small but critical component inside the prime / pressure relief valve assembly. When you rotate the prime knob (or switch between SPRAY and PRIME modes), the cam pushes against a plunger or valve stem, opening the relief passage to depressurize the system. This allows safe tip changes, cleaning, and startup.

Over time, the cam can wear, crack, or deform, causing the prime valve to become stiff, not fully seat, or fail to relieve pressure. Replacing a worn cam restores smooth operation of the prime valve and ensures proper pressure relief for safe sprayer use.

Service Guidance: If the prime knob feels rough, does not click into position, or the sprayer fails to depressurize when turned to PRIME, inspect the cam (0278303) and the valve plunger. Replace the cam if any wear or distortion is visible.

What it does and when to replace it

What the prime spray cam does
Mode switching Converts knob rotation between SPRAY and PRIME positions
Pressure relief Opens the relief valve to depressurize the system
Sealing assist Helps seat the valve in SPRAY mode to prevent bypass
Mechanical durability Hardened cam surface resists wear from repeated cycles
When replacement is recommended
Stiff or gritty rotation Prime knob does not turn smoothly or binds
Failure to depressurize Sprayer stays pressurized in PRIME mode, causing tip spray when loosened
Visible cam damage Cracks, flattened lobes, or deep grooves on the cam surface
Leakage in SPRAY mode Pressure loss due to cam not fully seating the relief valve

Compatibility

SprayTech 0278303 is compatible with the following SprayTech airless sprayer models. Always verify fitment using the correct parts diagram for your exact machine.

Related parts commonly serviced together

When replacing the prime spray cam, inspect these associated components to ensure complete and reliable prime valve operation.

Prime valve plunger / stem

The plunger rides against the cam; wear or bending can cause poor sealing.

Prime valve seal / O‑ring

A worn seal will leak pressure even with a new cam.

Prime knob & retaining clip

A cracked knob or missing clip can cause misalignment and cam wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cam converts rotation of the prime knob into linear movement that opens the pressure relief valve. In SPRAY mode, the cam allows the valve to close, directing paint to the gun. In PRIME mode, the cam pushes the valve open, diverting paint back to the hopper or drain and depressurizing the system.

Signs include: a prime knob that feels rough, sticks, or does not click into position; failure to depressurize when turned to PRIME; or visible wear, cracks, or flattening of the cam lobes when inspected.

No. 0278303 is only the cam inside the prime valve assembly. If the entire valve body, plunger, or seals are damaged, you may need a complete prime valve kit. Always inspect all components before ordering.

While possible, it is strongly recommended to replace the prime valve seal / O‑ring at the same time. Old seals may leak or fail soon after, and the labor to access the cam is the same. Use a seal kit (if available) for a complete repair.
