Titan part 235-018 is a trip retainer designed to secure or position a mechanical trip mechanism on compatible PowrTwin, PowrTex, and PowrLiner stripers and sprayers. This retainer prevents unintended release of the trip lever or latch, ensuring consistent operation of pressure relief, dump, or safety mechanisms. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing trip retainer restores proper trip function, prevents accidental activation, and maintains safe equipment operation.

The Titan 235-018 Trip Retainer is an OEM component used to hold a mechanical trip lever, latch, or detent in its proper position on a wide range of Titan industrial stripers and sprayers. It prevents inadvertent tripping of pressure relief valves, dump mechanisms, or safety interlocks, while allowing intentional actuation when needed.
Over time, trip retainers can become cracked, worn, or lost due to vibration, impact, or disassembly. A damaged or missing retainer may cause the trip mechanism to activate unexpectedly or fail to hold when required, leading to pressure loss, unsafe conditions, or operational errors. Replacing with genuine Titan 235-018 restores proper trip retention, ensures reliable mechanical control, and enhances operator safety.

When replacing the trip retainer, consider inspecting or replacing these associated components.
Inspect the lever or latch for wear or bending that could affect retention.
Check the trip return spring for loss of tension or damage.
Replace any worn or missing hardware that secures the trip assembly.
