Titan 0516292 Inlet Valve Assembly

Part number 0516292 is an Inlet Valve Assembly featuring the advanced New/Pusher stem design, specifically engineered for the Titan Aircoat 423 GB_D_F air-assisted airless spray system. This complete one-way check valve assembly threads directly into the pump inlet and serves as the primary fluid intake control device. During the suction stroke, the internal ball lifts off its seat to allow coating material to enter the pump chamber. During the pressure stroke, the ball seals against the seat to prevent backflow, maintaining prime and ensuring consistent fluid delivery to the spray gun.

The innovative pusher stem design is the defining feature of this inlet assembly. Unlike traditional inlet valves that require complete disassembly of the suction set to clear a stuck lower ball, the 0516292 incorporates a mechanical stem that allows the operator to simply push or tap the ball free from obstruction. This field-serviceable feature dramatically reduces downtime caused by debris or cured material preventing the ball from seating properly. The pusher stem is accessible without removing the suction set, enabling quick on-site resolution of priming issues and maintaining productivity during critical spraying operations.

The Aircoat 423 GB_D_F system is an air-powered, air-assisted airless sprayer designed for professional finishing applications. This inlet valve assembly is a precision-engineered component with no individual serviceable parts; if disassembled, the entire assembly must be replaced. A worn or failing inlet valve typically presents symptoms similar to worn pump packings: the pump will prime successfully but will not build or maintain full operating pressure. Replacement with genuine 0516292 restores proper inlet check valve function, eliminates pressure loss due to backflow, and ensures reliable priming performance. The pusher stem feature provides ongoing serviceability advantages throughout the life of the component.
