Titan part 540-030 is a green 30 mesh filter used to remove debris and contaminants from coating materials on compatible airless sprayers. When the original filter becomes clogged or damaged, it can cause restricted flow, pressure loss, and tip clogging. This filter restores proper filtration and ensures reliable fluid delivery for consistent spray performance.
Green 30 Mesh Filter for Airless Sprayer 440IX, 540IX, and Impact 340/400 Models
The Titan part 540-030 Green 30 Mesh Filter is a replacement filtration component designed for use in compatible airless sprayers. This filter removes debris and contaminants from coating materials before they reach the pump and spray tip, preventing clogs and ensuring consistent spray quality.
A clogged or damaged filter can lead to restricted flow, pressure fluctuations, tip clogging, and poor finish quality. Replacing with this genuine filter ensures proper material filtration, extends pump and tip life, and maintains reliable sprayer performance.
Filtration Note: The 30 mesh rating indicates approximately 30 openings per linear inch, providing medium-fine filtration suitable for most paints and coatings. The green color aids in quick identification of mesh size during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
"30 mesh" indicates the filter has approximately 30 openings per linear inch, which translates to a specific micron retention rating (typically around 500-600 microns). This provides medium-fine filtration suitable for most paints, primers, and coatings. The 30 mesh rating strikes a balance between effective debris removal and maintaining adequate flow rates for airless sprayer operation.
Filter replacement frequency depends on usage and material types. For daily use, inspect the filter weekly and replace when visible debris accumulates or flow decreases. For occasional use, replace at least annually or at the beginning of each spraying season. Always replace the filter if you experience frequent tip clogs, as this indicates the filter is no longer providing adequate protection.
While temporary cleaning with solvent and a soft brush may extend filter life, replacement is recommended for optimal performance. Repeated cleaning can degrade the mesh and alter its filtration characteristics. The 540-030 filter is designed as a consumable item; replacing it ensures consistent filtration and protects your sprayer from debris-related damage.
Yes, the green color serves as a quick visual identification of the 30 mesh rating. Many manufacturers use color-coding to help users easily identify filter mesh sizes during maintenance. This color-coding system helps ensure the correct filter is installed for your specific application and material type.
