Titan part 441-968 is a stirrup, 3/4" used in the fluid section or mechanical linkage of compatible Commander and Hydra airless sprayers. This stirrup (also called a yoke or clevis) provides a pivoting connection between the connecting rod and the pump piston or crosshead. A worn, cracked, or bent stirrup can cause misalignment, binding, or failure of the pump drive. Replacing with the OEM stirrup restores proper mechanical linkage and smooth pump operation.

The Titan 441-968 Stirrup, 3/4" is a genuine OEM replacement yoke (clevis) used in the pump drive linkage of Commander and Hydra series airless sprayers. It connects the connecting rod to the pump piston crosshead, allowing pivotal movement while transmitting reciprocating force.
Over time, stirrups can wear at the pin holes, crack from fatigue, or become bent under overload. A damaged stirrup causes slop in the linkage, erratic pump motion, unusual knocking sounds, or complete drive failure. Replacing with OEM Titan 441-968 restores proper alignment, smooth reciprocation, and reliable pressure output.
