As noted, it's a real time saver when painting multiple rooms when there just are few colour changes. I often have jobs to paint an entire house just before it goes on the resale market. These are typically painted throughout with a neutral colour like a "builder's tan" with white ceilings. Can roll a four bedroom house in two days. Also, awesome for rooms with high ceilings (16 ft.) or high stair wells where it becomes almost impossible to handle a roller on a 12 foot pole to get it back to a paint tray for reloading. The Wagner "Paint Stick" works on the same principle and uses the same roller covers and it's a good alternative when painting just one or two bedrooms. My only complaint is that the rubber seals at the manifold & cover assembly wear out and start to leak after about 16 hours of use and have to be replaced. Retailers don't carry a seal kit, so I had to order a quantity of each of the seals directly from the manufacturer's parts department which can take a few weeks to receive.
Chris, I really love your channel! Every time I came up here, a learn a ton of great information. I'm not a painter,I'm a carpenter who's also on the rental property maintenance business and you have saved me soo much hustle and time and $$$. Thank you so much for teaching we all what took you a lifetime on the trade for free. Success for your family and business.
Can you shorten the hose line and add a whip hose to make the line more flexible and easier to drag around furniture work, as often I’m in a room with furniture wrapped and dropped off, I find the line hard work pulling it and dragging it around?
How do you do your cut ins and use the roller and still work efficiently? I want to be able to roll several rooms and save time with the roller. But if I hsve to cut in and roll while it's still wet ... that's not really going to work
I have tried this paint fed roller and think that rolling with an 18” roller or spraying and back rolling is better. The thing is heavy to begin with and then when it’s loaded with paint it becomes way more effort.
So spraying and back rolling may be easier but now you have cover everything up because now you'll be dealing with overspray and if you're alone now you have to spray and back roll all by yourself which will take longer, with those roller you only need one person and no overspray, just drag a drop cloth and keep going 🤷🏽♂️
Two bedrooms you think sprayer set up and clean up is faster than a tray and liner? Toss the nap at the end of the job. Im sure the pressure naps cost alot more to just toss away
You can do either, but I find that spraying and backrolling tend to leave a better finish at the end, the prime coat will always raise the drywall paper so it'll need to be lightly sanded before top coat
I'm using one and I only press the trigger intermittently to throw some paint on the wall.ess than 1 second per vertices stroke so I would think you can run multiple with no problem
You can probably run 2 of them however the 440 doesn't come with a double hose manifold so you would need to either add one some how or get a machine that does
very disappointed in the video as these are just sales pitches and no instructions. got to the part where he said "the set up is easy" well thats absolutely no help.
A friend puts his rollers in a zip lock bag and reuses them if he does not finish with a particular paint color. He does not clean up of rollers...reuse or trash.
Whether your using a $3 or $10 roller cover, Is it worth your time and effort to clean it? I sometimes clean them to recycle them but would never use a used roller on a customer's job. I only reuse old rollers for deck and fence staining.
@@chrisgraham2904 Apparently I did not make my comment clear. He does not work for the public. He uses new brushes and rollers every job but keeps them in a zip lock bag if it takes him more than a day to complete the job.
@@mcconn746 I did understand your comment and a plastic bag is a great practice if your taking a lunch break or even over night. I made my comment for so many others, including professional painters, who are giving everyone tips for cleaning rollers as if they are only using a half dozen roller covers per year. LOL
Yep and it's like a wrestling match the whole time to get the right feed flow and rythem. I bought it for a few large ceiling jobs and ended up using my 18" setup. I may try it for walls on the current job I'm on. Have a feeling it may be ok on the walls.

Well, that's heaps of good info sir!
Excellent info thanks
After 16 hours, no other choice but to replace seals we have to order ?
@@ryanbinder1294 Once the seals go, the paint head leaks and drips profusely.
@@chrisgraham2904 where do we get more

the entire extension part of it for super tall walls is absolutely genius. Super good product and I've been painting for 25 years.
Chris, have you tested the graco jet roller? Curious as to what your feedback is in comparison to inner feed rollers.
Can you shorten the hose line and add a whip hose to make the line more flexible and easier to drag around furniture work, as often I’m in a room with furniture wrapped and dropped off,
I find the line hard work pulling it and dragging it around?
Spoke with our Tech Service Team and then confirmed that yes, you could shorten the hose line and add a whip hose when using the Inner-Feed Roller.

Mine seemed to not put enough paint on the wall. Feed pressure?
Mr. Idaho is titan the best. Thanks
I have a question. On a new construction is it better to spray or spray roll (primer). What about regular paint , spray or paint roll ?
You can do either, but I find that spraying and backrolling tend to leave a better finish at the end, the prime coat will always raise the drywall paper so it'll need to be lightly sanded before top coat
So are there 18 in roller for these??
9" only
Great if we could get them in Ireland
where to buy this roller?
Is there an 18in inner feed system?
If you mean the roller manifold and the roller cover, No, only a 9" Width.
hi, i live in uk,where can i find one of these rollers and compressor,s in uk
Hi. David. Have you found where to buy the roller. In uk
Does Titan still make an inner feed pressure roller?
Graco does not sure if titan still doing theirs
Hey, any
masonry/exterior roller sleeves available for that? Is that 12 inch roller in the video that you used? Thanks
Wagner and Graco use the same roller. It's a 9 inch width and available in two naps, (3/8" & 3/4"), the thicker for masonry and rough surfaces.
Are use mine yesterday and I love it
Hi Chris, I was wondering, how many pressure roller can you use at one time with the Titan 440? Considering they run at such low PSI.
I'm using one and I only press the trigger intermittently to throw some paint on the wall.ess than 1 second per vertices stroke so I would think you can run multiple with no problem
You can probably run 2 of them however the 440 doesn't come with a double hose manifold so you would need to either add one some how or get a machine that does
WHERE do we get it?
Sherwin Willians Paints
I wish this would hold an 18" . That's what I use. But with this!...
Have u found out if there are 18 in rollers for these
very disappointed in the video as these are just sales pitches and no instructions. got to the part where he said "the set up is easy" well thats absolutely no help.
At the rate of that speed you showed us is incorrect, that pole must be heavy.
I know your using the New RX Pro gun. My questions is how are you attaching the extension pole ? Most people buy an LX-70, 80 Inlet Gun.
@Wayne C - an Angle Adapter Assembly was used to attached the extension to the gun. Titan part # 0509907.

This machine available in india? Send me dealer contact
Put some timber on mate
The roller covers are crap. Sprinkles everywhere. If the rollers came in microfiber , it would be a win ...... otherwise a crap finish
