Titan part 944-040 is a bleed hose kit designed to safely relieve trapped pressure or purge air from the fluid system on compatible PowrLiner and PowrTwin stripers. This kit includes the bleed hose and necessary fittings for a direct replacement, allowing operators to safely depressurize the pump before maintenance or tip changes. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or worn bleed hose restores proper pressure relief function, enhances operator safety, and prevents accidental material discharge.

The Titan 944-040 Bleed Hose Kit is an OEM replacement assembly used to safely relieve hydraulic or fluid pressure from the pump and spray gun system. It connects to the bleed valve or pressure dump port, allowing the operator to discharge trapped pressure into a container or back to the tank.
Over time, bleed hoses can become cracked, kinked, or clogged with dried material. A damaged bleed hose may fail to relieve pressure properly, creating a safety hazard during tip cleaning or maintenance. Replacing with genuine Titan 944-040 restores a reliable pressure‑relief path, ensures safe depressurization, and prevents accidental high‑pressure fluid release.
| Pressure relief | Safely discharges trapped fluid pressure |

| System priming | Helps purge air from fluid lines |
| Cracks or cuts | Visible damage to hose cover |
|---|---|
| Kinking | Hose stays bent, restricting flow |
| Soft spots or bulging | Internal reinforcement failure |
| Fitting leaks | Material seeps from crimp or threads |

When replacing the bleed hose kit, consider inspecting or replacing these associated components.
Check the valve for proper operation; replace if it fails to seal or release pressure.
Inspect threads and seals; replace if damaged or corroded.
Verify gauge accuracy; a faulty gauge can mask pressure issues.
