Titan part 704-079A is a syphon/bypass hose assembly that directs paint flow from the syphon tube back to the pump inlet or paint container during priming and pressure relief. This assembly helps maintain steady material supply, reduces air entrapment, and ensures proper recirculation on compatible PowrLiner units.

The Titan 704-079A Syphon/Bypass Hose Assembly is a genuine replacement part designed to restore proper paint recirculation and priming function on PowrLiner 1800M and 2800M airless line stripers. The assembly includes both the syphon hose (draws material from the container) and the bypass hose (returns excess paint to the container or pump inlet).
Over time, original hoses can become brittle, cracked, clogged, or loose at the fittings, leading to poor priming, inconsistent spray pattern, or loss of pressure. Replacing the complete assembly restores reliable material flow and reduces downtime.
| Syphon function | Draws paint from the container into the pump inlet |
|---|---|
| Bypass function | Returns excess paint during priming or pressure relief to prevent deadheading |
| Air elimination | Helps purge trapped air from the system for consistent spray |
| Cracks or leaks | Visible paint seepage or air suction leaks |
|---|---|
| Hard / brittle hose | Loss of flexibility, kinking, or difficulty fitting onto barbs |
| Clogs or restrictions | Reduced flow even after cleaning the strainer |
| Poor priming | Pump runs but will not draw material; bypass valve test fails |
Titan part 704-079A is compatible with the following models. Always verify with your machine's parts diagram, as revision levels may vary.

When replacing the syphon/bypass hose assembly, inspect these related components to avoid repeat failures.
Clogged strainer can mimic a failed syphon hose. Clean or replace as needed.
A stuck or worn bypass valve can cause poor recirculation and pressure issues.
If the pump won't build pressure even after new hoses, check the packings.
