Part number 0551437 is a siphon tube assembly used to draw coating material from a container into the pump of compatible airless sprayers. This assembly includes the tube and necessary fittings for proper fluid pickup. It is compatible with SprayTech Airless EPX2355, EPX2255, EPX2155, SprayTech Airless Advantage EPX2155, and RentSpray 400 models. Replacing a cracked, brittle, or incorrectly sized siphon tube ensures consistent material flow and helps prevent air from entering the system, which can cause spitting or pressure loss.

The 0551437 siphon tube assembly is a fluid intake component that connects the sprayer pump to the material container. It is designed for use with SprayTech Airless EPX2355, EPX2255, EPX2155, SprayTech Airless Advantage EPX2155, and RentSpray 400 models. This assembly provides a dedicated path for coating to travel from the container to the pump inlet. Over time, siphon tubes can become cracked, brittle from chemical exposure, or clogged with dried material. A damaged tube allows air to be drawn into the system, leading to spitting at the gun, pressure fluctuations, and reduced efficiency. The tube length and diameter are matched to the pump's flow requirements to ensure proper prime and consistent material delivery. Replacing a worn or incorrect tube restores the sprayer's ability to draw fluid effectively, especially with thicker coatings. The assembly typically includes the pickup tube and may incorporate a filter or weight to keep the end submerged. When installing, ensure the tube is securely attached and that the end remains immersed during operation to prevent air ingestion. Regular inspection of the siphon tube for signs of wear or damage is recommended as part of routine sprayer maintenance. Using the correct replacement part maintains the original performance and helps avoid downtime on the job site.
| Fluid pickup | Draws coating material from the container into the pump |
|---|---|
| Air exclusion | Helps maintain a continuous fluid column to prevent air entry |
| Compatibility | Designed for specific pump flow rates and container depths |
| Cracks or brittleness | Material degradation leads to air leaks |
|---|---|
| Spitting or surging | Air entering the system often traces back to the pickup tube |
| Clogged tube | Dried material restricts flow, reducing prime capability |
| Missing or incorrect length | Tube does not reach bottom of container or fits improperly |
