Titan 569-016 Ball

Check Valve Ball for Hydra, PowrLiner, PowrTex & PowrTwin Sprayers

The 569-016 Ball is a precision spherical component used as a check valve element in the fluid systems of compatible Hydra, PowrLiner, PowrTex, and PowrTwin sprayer models. It seats against a valve seat to create a one-way seal, allowing material to flow in one direction while preventing backflow.

In ball check valves, the ball is held against the seat by gravity, pressure differential, or spring force. When pressure on the inlet side exceeds the holding force, the ball lifts off the seat, allowing material to flow through. When pressure equalizes or reverses, the ball seats back into the valve seat, creating a positive seal that prevents backflow. The ball must be perfectly spherical and smooth to create a reliable seal and must be made of materials compatible with the coatings being sprayed.

Over time, check valve balls can become worn, pitted, or develop flat spots due to the constant impact against the seat and the flow of material. Contaminants in the fluid can also cause surface damage. A worn or damaged ball can allow material to leak past, resulting in pressure loss, reduced pump efficiency, and inconsistent spray performance. Replacing a worn ball restores proper valve sealing, ensuring reliable one-way flow control and consistent system pressure.
