Titan part 235-028 is a rod seal designed to provide a dynamic seal around a reciprocating rod or shaft on compatible PowrTwin, PowrTex, and PowrLiner stripers and sprayers. This seal prevents fluid leakage along the rod while allowing smooth axial movement, protecting the pump housing and maintaining system pressure. Replacing a worn, cut, or hardened rod seal restores leak‑free operation, prevents contamination, and ensures consistent pumping performance.

The Titan 235-028 Rod Seal is an OEM dynamic seal that fits around a reciprocating rod (such as a piston rod or valve stem) in the fluid section or pump housing of a wide range of Titan industrial stripers and sprayers. It prevents pressurized fluid from escaping along the rod while allowing smooth, low‑friction movement.
Over time, rod seals wear due to friction, pressure cycles, and exposure to coatings and solvents. A worn or damaged rod seal allows fluid to leak externally or internally, causing pressure drop, material loss, and environmental contamination. Replacing with genuine Titan 235-028 restores a tight, leak‑free seal, protects surrounding components, and maintains system efficiency.
| Dynamic sealing | Prevents leaks around reciprocating rod |
|---|---|
| Pressure containment | Maintains system pressure |
| Contaminant exclusion | Keeps dirt out of pump housing |
| Visible leakage | Fluid weeping from rod area |
|---|---|
| Worn or cracked lip | Seal lip damaged or hardened |
| Rod scoring | Seal damage from rough rod surface |
| During fluid section rebuild | Always replace rod seal when rebuilding pump |

When replacing the rod seal, consider inspecting or replacing these associated components.
Inspect the rod for scoring, pitting, or corrosion; polish or replace if damaged.
Clean the seal groove thoroughly; check for burrs or damage.
Replace all seals in the fluid section together for a complete rebuild.
