Airless Sprayer / Elite / Epic / PowrTwin part 761-153 is a down tube designed to route material from the supply container to the pump inlet on compatible sprayer models. This vertical tube provides a clear, unrestricted path for material flow while maintaining proper priming and suction characteristics. Replacing a cracked, bent, or damaged down tube restores proper material delivery and ensures reliable pump priming.

The 761-153 Down Tube is a vertical conduit that routes material from the supply container to the pump inlet on compatible Airless Sprayer, Elite, Epic, and PowrTwin models. It provides a clear, unrestricted path for fluid flow while maintaining proper suction characteristics for reliable pump priming.
The down tube is a critical component of the suction system. It extends from the pump inlet down into the material container, creating a continuous column of fluid that allows the pump to draw material efficiently. The tube must be smooth internally to minimize flow resistance and rigid enough to maintain its position in the container. Proper down tube function is essential for maintaining prime, especially when spraying from larger containers or when material levels are low.
Over time, down tubes can become cracked from flexing or impact, bent from mishandling, or clogged with dried material. A damaged down tube can cause air ingestion, leading to loss of prime, pressure fluctuations, and inconsistent spray patterns. Replacing a worn or damaged down tube restores proper material flow, ensures reliable priming, and maintains consistent spray performance.
