Titan 710-218 Siphon & Bypass 55 Gal for Advantage and Airless Sprayers
Titan 710-218 is an OEM replacement siphon and bypass assembly designed for use with 55-gallon drums on compatible Titan airless sprayers. This complete assembly 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. It is essential for high-volume spraying applications where bulk material containers are used, providing both material pickup and fluid recirculation for reliable operation.
| Detail | Technical / Commercial Information |
|---|---|
| Product Overview | OEM Titan 710-218 siphon and bypass assembly for 55-gallon drums. Complete fluid pickup and recirculation system consisting of a long siphon tube and a bypass return tube. Designed for high-volume spraying with bulk material containers. |
| Function | Material pickup: siphon tube draws coating from the bottom of a 55-gallon drum. Fluid recirculation: bypass tube returns excess material to the drum during priming or standby. Air-tight seal: prevents air from entering the pump through the suction path. |
| Compatible Models | Titan Advantage 1100 (Lowboy), Advantage 700 (Lowboy), Airless Sprayer 1100 XC, EPX2455, EPX2555. Verify fitment against your specific model parts diagram before ordering. |
| Common Failure Symptoms | Loss of prime or difficulty priming. Visible cracks or holes in the siphon or bypass tube causing air ingestion or leaks. Clogged tube from dried coating or debris. Leaking fittings at tube connections or bypass port. Air spitting from the gun. |
| Service Guidance | Before installing the new assembly, inspect the drum lid grommet and ensure the siphon tube is cut to the correct length (about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the drum). Use thread sealant on all fittings as specified in the service manual. Inspect the inlet strainer and foot valve during replacement. |
| Related Parts Serviced Together | Drum lid grommet or adapter (seals the tubes where they pass through the drum lid; replace if cracked or loose), foot valve assembly (siphon tube connects to the foot valve; inspect for wear or debris), inlet strainer or screen (attaches to the end of the siphon tube; clean or replace to prevent debris entry). |
| Commercial Benefits | Restores proper fluid pickup and recirculation, eliminates priming issues and air ingestion, and ensures reliable operation with 55-gallon bulk containers. |
The 710-218 Siphon & Bypass 55 Gal is a practical replacement for contractors using 55-gallon drums with compatible Titan sprayers. If the sprayer struggles to prime, loses prime frequently, spits air from the gun, or shows visible cracks or leaks in the siphon or bypass tubes, the assembly may need replacement. This complete OEM assembly restores proper fluid pickup and recirculation for reliable high-volume spraying. Before installation, inspect the drum lid grommet, ensure the siphon tube is cut to the correct length, and check the inlet strainer for debris. Replacing a damaged siphon and bypass assembly promptly restores proper suction and consistent material delivery.
