Titan 103-826 Siphon Hose Assembly

Siphon Hose Assembly for PowrTwin Series Equipment

The PowrTwin 103-826 Siphon Hose Assembly is a complete fluid intake component designed to draw coating material, solvent, or other liquids from a supply container and deliver it to the pump inlet for pressurization and spraying. On compatible equipment including the PowrTwin 12000 Plus DI service, 12000 Plus DI Operation, 8900GH, 6900GH, 6900 and 12000 Plus DI, 4900GH, 4900 XLT, 4900, 6900, 8900, 12000 Plus, 4500, and 3500 50th anniversary models, this siphon hose assembly is essential for proper fluid pickup, especially when spraying directly from original paint containers or five-gallon pails. The assembly typically includes the hose, a weighted pickup tube with strainer, and fittings for connection to the pump inlet. A cracked or split siphon hose allows air ingestion, causing the pump to lose prime, cavitate, or deliver intermittent flow. A kinked or crushed hose restricts flow, reducing output and causing pressure fluctuation. A clogged strainer at the pickup end blocks fluid entry entirely. Over time, exposure to solvents, abrasives, and repeated flexing can cause hose materials to harden, crack, or become blocked. Replacing a damaged siphon hose assembly restores proper fluid pickup, prevents air ingestion, and ensures consistent pump performance. This genuine PowrTwin replacement assembly meets original equipment specifications for hose material, length, inner diameter, strainer mesh size, and fitting compatibility. When installing a new siphon hose assembly, ensure the strainer is clear, route the hose without sharp bends, and secure all connections tightly to prevent air leaks. Users should always verify compatibility with their specific model and revision before installation. Regular inspection of siphon hoses for cracks, kinks, or strainer clogging should be part of preventive maintenance programs.
