Titan part 245-018 is a foot valve used in the fluid inlet of compatible Admiral, Commander, and Hydra airless sprayers. This valve sits at the bottom of the suction tube or pump inlet, allowing material to flow into the pump while preventing backflow and maintaining prime. A worn, stuck, or leaking foot valve causes loss of prime, pressure fluctuation, or pump failure to draw material. Replacing with the OEM foot valve restores proper priming, consistent pressure, and reliable spray performance.

The Titan 245-018 Foot Valve is a genuine OEM replacement inlet valve for Admiral, Commander, and Hydra series airless sprayers. It is typically located at the end of the suction tube or integrated into the pump inlet housing, using a spring‑loaded poppet or ball to allow one‑way flow.
Over time, foot valves can become clogged with debris, worn from abrasives, or stuck due to dried material. A faulty foot valve prevents the pump from priming, causes pressure loss, or allows material to drain back into the container when the pump stops. Replacing with OEM Titan 245-018 restores quick priming, steady pressure, and reliable fluid pickup.
| Prevents backflow | Keeps material from draining out of suction line |
|---|---|
| Maintains prime | Allows pump to draw material immediately on startup |
| Filters debris | May include a strainer to protect pump |
| One‑way flow | Opens on suction stroke, closes on pressure stroke |
| Loss of prime | Pump fails to prime or loses prime quickly |
|---|---|
| Pressure fluctuation | Spray pressure surges or drops erratically |
| Visible damage | Cracked housing, worn poppet, or broken spring |
| Clogged / stuck valve | Valve does not open or close freely |
