Titan part 245-013 is an upper spring retainer designed to capture and position the upper packing spring within the fluid section of compatible Hydra M 2000, Hydra M 4000, Hydra Pro Super, Admiral, and Commander sprayers. This retainer ensures that spring force is evenly distributed to the upper packings, maintaining consistent seal compression against the piston. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing upper spring retainer restores proper spring alignment, prevents packing distortion, and ensures leak‑free pump performance.

The Titan 245-013 Upper Spring Retainer is a precision component that sits above the upper packing spring in the fluid section of Hydra M, Hydra Pro Super, Admiral, and Commander sprayers. It provides a flat, stable surface for the spring to push against and transfers spring force evenly to the upper packings.
Over time, the retainer can become worn, cracked, or deformed due to pressure cycling or improper assembly. A damaged retainer causes uneven spring loading, leading to premature packing wear, fluid bypass, and reduced pump efficiency. Replacing with genuine Titan 245-013 restores correct spring alignment, ensures uniform packing compression, and extends seal life.
| Spring positioning | Holds upper spring in correct alignment |

| Force distribution | Transfers spring load evenly to packings |
| Wear reduction | Prevents spring from contacting housing directly |
| Visible cracks | Cracks in the retainer body |
|---|---|
| Deformation | Retainer no longer flat or round |
| Wear grooves | Deep scoring from spring contact |
| During fluid section rebuild | Replace as part of complete seal overhaul |

When replacing the upper spring retainer, consider inspecting or replacing these associated fluid section components.
Replace the spring together with the retainer for balanced packing compression.
Always replace upper and lower packings at the same time as the retainer.
Inspect the piston surface for scoring that may have damaged the retainer.
