The 0551536 Piston Assembly is an OEM replacement component for the fluid pump of RentSpray 400 and SprayTech Advantage EPX2155, EPX2255, GPX80 airless sprayers. This assembly includes the piston rod (which connects to the drive) and pre‑installed packings or seals, ready to install directly into the pump cylinder.
A worn or damaged piston rod can cause pressure loss, poor priming, erratic spray, and accelerated packing failure. Scoring, bending, or corrosion on the rod surface damages new seals quickly. Replacing the entire piston assembly with the 0551536 restores proper rod surface finish and correct geometry, ensuring reliable pump performance without the need to transfer old packings.

When replacing the piston assembly, these related components are often inspected or replaced at the same time.
Check the bore for scoring or wear that could damage the new piston.
Inspect for wear at the pin connection; replace if loose or damaged.
If the piston assembly does not include all seals, order a repacking kit (e.g., 0551533).
