Part 700-206 is a complete siphon tube and hose assembly designed to draw paint or coating material from the container to the pump inlet. Used on a variety of airless sprayers, this assembly includes the rigid pickup tube and flexible suction hose, ensuring reliable fluid delivery and preventing air from being drawn into the system. A damaged or cracked siphon tube can cause priming issues, pressure loss, and erratic spray performance.

The 700-206 Siphon Tube & Hose Assembly is a genuine replacement pickup system for a wide range of airless sprayers, including Airless Sprayer 440 IX, 540IX, 640IX; Epic 447EX, 660HPX, 447HPX; PowrLiner 1800M, 2800M; and RentSpray 450, 600, 650 models. It consists of a rigid metal siphon tube and a flexible suction hose that connects to the pump inlet, ensuring a continuous flow of material from the container.
A cracked, clogged, or loose siphon tube can cause the sprayer to lose prime, draw air, or fail to maintain pressure. Replacing the complete assembly restores proper suction, eliminates air ingestion, and ensures consistent fluid delivery for reliable spraying performance.
| Fluid pickup | Draws material from the container to the pump inlet |
|---|---|
| Air‑tight seal | Prevents air from entering the fluid system, maintaining prime |
| Flexibility | Allows the tube to reach the bottom of the container for complete material usage |
| Loss of prime | Sprayer won’t pull material or loses prime frequently |
|---|---|
| Visible cracks / damage | Cracked tube, split hose, or loose fitting causing air leaks |
| Clogs / restriction | Debris or dried paint inside the tube restricting flow |
| Intermittent spitting | Air bubbles in the spray pattern indicating suction leak |

When replacing the siphon tube and hose, inspect these components to ensure complete system integrity.
A clogged inlet screen can mimic siphon tube issues; clean or replace as needed.
Inspect for cracks or blockages that can affect priming and recirculation.
If air is entering the system, worn packings may also need replacement.
