Part number 700-213 is a pump siphon tube with O‑ring designed for Epic 690 GX and PowrLiner 3100 airless sprayers. This tube draws paint from the container into the pump and includes a sealing O‑ring to prevent air leaks. A cracked, clogged, or missing siphon tube can cause priming difficulties, pressure loss, or erratic spray. Replacing it restores proper fluid pickup and reliable performance.

The 700‑213 siphon tube assembly is a vital component that carries paint from the container to the pump on Epic 690 GX and PowrLiner 3100 airless sprayers. It includes a molded tube and a precision O‑ring that seals the connection to the pump inlet, ensuring a continuous, air‑free flow of material.
Over time, siphon tubes can become brittle, cracked, or clogged with dried paint. The O‑ring may also compress, harden, or become damaged, allowing air to enter the system and causing loss of prime, sputtering, or reduced pressure. Replacing the complete tube with its integrated O‑ring using genuine 700‑213 restores a tight seal and reliable fluid pickup, minimizing downtime on the job.

When servicing the siphon tube, consider inspecting these components:
A clogged strainer restricts flow; clean or replace as needed.
Debris in the inlet valve can cause priming issues; inspect and clean.
If the sprayer has a return system, check for leaks or damage.
