Suction Tube Assembly-Straight 0516198

This suction tube is compatible with various makes and models of airless paint sprayers and is sold as an individual OEM part. It draws paint from the container/reservoir and delivers it to the sprayer for application. This tube has a built-in filter attached, to prevent dust, dirt, or debris from entering the sprayer system. When suction tubes become clogged/blocked, damaged, or lose their suction, they can become inoperable and will lose any and all function. It is recommended that you regularly inspect the tube for damage or clogs, and if you notice your sprayer leaking from connection points around the tube or inconsistent spray patterns and suction ability, the tube is likely needing replacement. To replace this tube within your paint sprayer assembly, disconnect your sprayer from power and relieve the pressure within the sprayer. Drain all paint from the sprayer and paint reservoir to avoid mess. Remove the old suction tube by unscrewing it and/or any securing hardware, and then install the new tube with the same process as before. With the new tube installed, perform a test run with the sprayer to ensure the suction tube works properly before using it normally.
