Titan part 245-005 is an upper packing spring used in the fluid section of compatible airless sprayers. This spring maintains constant tension on the upper packing set, ensuring a consistent seal around the piston rod. A worn or collapsed spring can cause packing leakage, pressure loss, or air ingestion into the fluid system. Replacing the spring restores proper packing compression and reliable pump performance.

The Titan 245-005 Upper Packing Spring is a genuine OEM coil spring designed to apply consistent upward pressure on the upper packing set inside the fluid section of Admiral, Commander, and Hydra series airless sprayers. This spring ensures the packings maintain a tight seal against the reciprocating piston rod.
Over time, packing springs can lose tension due to metal fatigue, corrosion, or permanent compression. A weak spring allows the packings to loosen, causing paint leakage past the rod, pressure loss, or air being drawn into the fluid system (loss of prime). Replacing the spring restores proper packing preload and extends pump life.
| Maintains packing tension | Keeps upper packings compressed against the rod |
|---|---|
| Prevents fluid leakage | Stops paint from escaping past the rod |
| Blocks air ingestion | Prevents air from being drawn into the pump |
| Compensates for wear | Automatically adjusts as packings wear |
| Packing leakage | Paint leaks from around the rod even after tightening |
|---|---|
| Loss of prime | Pump loses prime repeatedly, indicating air ingestion |
| Visible spring damage | Spring is collapsed, broken, or heavily corroded |
| Pressure fluctuation | Inconsistent spray pressure from packing blow‑by |

When replacing the upper packing spring, inspect or replace these associated components.
Always replace packings when the spring is replaced – they wear together.
A scored rod will damage new packings; inspect and replace if needed.
Inspect lower components for wear during a full pump rebuild.
