Titan 235-022 Piston Retainer Screw

Titan 235-022 Piston Retainer Screw

Sourced From:
Titan Tools Inc.

 

Titan part 235-022 is a piston retainer screw used to secure the piston assembly within the fluid section of compatible PowrLiner, PowrTex, and PowrTwin airless sprayers. This screw locks the piston to the connecting rod or retains the piston within the cylinder. A stripped, broken, or missing retainer screw can cause piston disengagement, loss of pressure, or catastrophic pump failure. Replacing with the OEM screw ensures proper piston retention and safe, reliable pump operation.

Piston Retainer Screw for PowrLiner, PowrTex & PowrTwin – Titan 235-022

The Titan 235-022 Piston Retainer Screw is a genuine OEM fastener that secures the piston to the connecting rod or retains the piston within the pump cylinder on PowrLiner, PowrTex, and PowrTwin airless sprayers. It is a critical component that withstands high reciprocating forces during pump operation.

Over time, the retainer screw can become stripped from over‑torquing, corroded from chemical exposure, or broken due to metal fatigue. A failed screw allows the piston to detach, causing sudden loss of pressure, loud knocking, or complete pump seizure. Replacing with OEM Titan 235-022 ensures proper thread engagement, correct clamp force, and safe, reliable pump function.

Service Guidance: Always apply thread locker (blue) to the screw threads as specified in the service manual. Torque to factory specifications – do not over‑tighten. Inspect the mating threads in the connecting rod or piston for damage before installation. Replace the screw if any signs of stripping, corrosion, or fatigue are visible.
