| Detail | Technical / Commercial Information |
|---|---|
| Product Overview | Titan HandiBead is a portable glass-bead dispenser engineered for more consistent and accurate application of reflective media onto freshly painted pavement markings. Titan equips the dispenser with an adjustable diffuser capable of distributing material up to 15 inches wide and three interchangeable nozzle sizes—small, medium and large—to support different dispensing requirements. |
| Function | Allows the operator to walk the freshly painted marking and dispense glass beads directly over the wet coating instead of manually throwing beads by hand. The selected nozzle regulates material delivery while the adjustable diffuser spreads the falling media across the required marking width. This improves control over bead placement on detailed or wide pavement markings. |
| Industrial Applications | Designed for professional pavement-marking and traffic-striping work requiring reflective glass-bead application. Titan specifically positions HandiBead as an alternative to hand tossing beads on stop bars and crosswalks. It is also useful for parking-lot markings, roadway symbols, stencil work and other freshly painted markings where portable, operator-controlled bead placement is advantageous. |
| Accurate Compatible Titan Machines | HandiBead is a portable standalone bead applicator rather than a replacement component that must be installed inside a particular Titan sprayer. Titan lists 0290953A throughout its PowrLiner accessory range, including current documentation for PowrLiner 3500/3500S and PowrLiner 3500 72V equipment. Because dispensing is performed separately by the operator, its practical use is not dependent on the host striper's pump or gun assembly. |
| Accurate Part Number | 0290953A — Titan HandiBead Portable Bead Dispenser. Titan accessory catalogs consistently identify this part number with the HandiBead glass-bead applicator. It should not be confused with machine-mounted hopper and dispenser systems such as Titan 424-840 or 424-841, which are different bead-dispensing configurations. |
| Compatible Parts & Assemblies | Titan specifies an adjustable diffuser capable of spreading material up to 15 inches wide and includes three nozzles in small, medium and large sizes. These nozzle choices allow the operator to adapt bead delivery to the marking and material-flow requirement. HandiBead does not require connection to the PowrLiner paint hose, hydraulic circuit or spray gun to dispense beads. |
| Related Parts Commonly Serviced Together | Keep the HandiBead container, dispensing outlet, selected nozzle and adjustable diffuser clean and free of accumulated bead material or contamination. The three nozzle sizes should be retained with the dispenser so bead flow can be matched to each application. On the striping side, inspect the spray tip, gun and marking setup to ensure the paint pattern matches the intended bead-coverage area. |
| Common Problems Solved | Replaces inconsistent hand tossing of reflective beads with a controlled portable dispensing method. This helps contractors achieve more uniform material distribution, reduce unnecessary bead waste and cover wider markings without repeatedly throwing material by hand. Its adjustable diffuser is especially useful on stop bars and crosswalks where even coverage across a broad painted area is required. |
| Use with Coating Systems | HandiBead dispenses reflective glass beads rather than paint. Beads are applied over freshly sprayed compatible pavement-marking material while the coating remains wet enough for proper embedment. Use dry, free-flowing bead media appropriate for the project specification and select the nozzle and diffuser setting that provide the required distribution across the painted marking. |
| OEM & Brand Information | Genuine Titan Tool line-striping accessory. Titan identifies HandiBead as part number 0290953A in its professional line-striping accessory literature. Unlike Titan's machine-mounted glass-bead systems, HandiBead is designed as a portable operator-controlled dispenser and therefore provides bead-application capability without permanently adding a hopper/dispenser assembly to the PowrLiner. |
| Commercial Benefits | HandiBead gives striping contractors a simple way to add controlled reflective-media application without investing in or installing a machine-mounted bead system. The portable design is easy to move between markings, three included nozzles provide dispensing flexibility, and the adjustable diffuser handles material patterns up to 15 inches wide—particularly valuable for crosswalk and stop-bar contracts. |
Contractor Selection Insight
Choose HandiBead when you need portable bead application for crosswalks, stop bars, symbols or occasional reflective striping without permanently mounting a bead hopper to your PowrLiner. Its diffuser can spread material up to 15 inches wide. For continuous bead dispensing synchronized directly with a striping gun, compare Titan's machine-mounted glass-bead systems instead.
