710-218 Siphon & Bypass 55 Gal is a genuine OEM replacement siphon and bypass tube assembly for Titan airless sprayers. This assembly is designed for use with 55‑gallon drums, providing both a siphon tube to draw material from the drum and a bypass return line to recirculate fluid during priming or when the gun is off. A damaged, clogged, or leaking siphon/bypass assembly can cause loss of prime, air ingestion, pressure loss, and erratic spray performance. Replacing the assembly restores proper fluid pickup and recirculation for reliable operation with bulk containers.

The Titan 710-218 Siphon & Bypass 55 Gal is a complete fluid pickup and recirculation assembly designed for 55‑gallon drums. It consists of a long siphon tube that extends to the bottom of the drum to draw coating material, and a bypass return tube that directs excess fluid back into the drum during priming or when the spray gun is not in use. This assembly is essential for high‑volume spraying applications where bulk material containers are used.
Over time, the siphon tube can become cracked, clogged, or bent, while the bypass tube or its fittings may leak or become blocked. A faulty assembly can cause difficulty priming, loss of prime, air spitting, pressure loss, or material leaks. Replacing the assembly with an OEM component ensures proper fit, reliable fluid pickup, and safe recirculation.

| Air‑tight seal | Prevents air from entering the pump through the suction path |
| Loss of prime / difficulty priming | Sprayer struggles to draw material from the drum |
|---|---|
| Visible cracks or holes | Cracks in siphon or bypass tube cause air ingestion or leaks |
| Clogged tube | Dried coating or debris blocks the siphon or bypass |
| Leaking fittings | Material seeps from tube connections or bypass port |
