Titan part 0138502 is a spacer used to maintain proper spacing and alignment between components on the Helix LP sprayer. When the original spacer becomes worn, crushed, or damaged, it can cause misalignment, increased wear, and operational issues. This spacer restores proper positioning and ensures reliable component function.
The Titan part 0138502 Spacer is a precision component designed to maintain proper clearance and alignment between mating parts on the Helix LP sprayer. This spacer ensures that components are positioned correctly, preventing metal-to-metal contact, reducing wear, and maintaining proper mechanical relationships within the assembly.
A worn or missing spacer can lead to component misalignment, increased friction, premature wear, and operational issues. Replacing with this genuine component restores proper spacing and ensures reliable operation of your Helix LP sprayer.
Installation Note: Ensure the spacer is clean and free of burrs before installation. Position it correctly between the mating components and verify that all parts align properly before tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 0138502 spacer serves as a precision shim that maintains correct spacing between specific components on the Helix LP sprayer. It ensures that parts are properly aligned, prevents unwanted contact between metal surfaces, and maintains the correct geometry for optimal operation. Proper spacing is critical for reducing wear and ensuring reliable performance.
Signs that your spacer needs replacement include: visible wear or deformation (crushing, bending, or distortion), the spacer missing entirely, corrosion that has affected its dimensions, or if you notice misalignment between components that should be properly spaced. During disassembly, always inspect spacers and replace them if any doubt exists about their condition.
Yes, the 0138502 spacer is specifically designed for the Helix LP sprayer. While spacers may appear similar across different models, they are manufactured to precise dimensions required for specific applications. Using the correct OEM spacer ensures proper fit and function in your Helix LP.
Installation typically involves: 1) Cleaning the mounting surfaces, 2) Placing the spacer in the correct position between mating components, 3) Ensuring the spacer is properly aligned with all holes and features, 4) Assembling the components and securing with appropriate fasteners, and 5) Tightening to specification. The spacer should fit snugly without binding or excessive play.
