Titan part 245-014 is a stainless steel lower packing spring designed to maintain constant tension on the packing stack in the fluid section of compatible Hydra M 2000, Hydra M 4000, Hydra Pro Super, Admiral, and Commander sprayers. This spring compensates for packing wear over time, ensuring a consistent seal against the piston or plunger. Replacing a broken, weakened, or missing lower packing spring restores proper packing compression, prevents fluid bypass, and extends the life of the pump's seal assembly.

The Titan 245-014 Lower Packing Spring is a stainless steel compression spring located at the bottom of the packing stack in the fluid section of Hydra M, Hydra Pro Super, Admiral, and Commander sprayers. Its role is to exert upward force against the packings, keeping them in contact with the piston or plunger as they naturally wear over time.
Packing springs can fatigue, break, or take a permanent set, especially after extended use or exposure to aggressive chemicals. A failed spring reduces packing compression, leading to fluid leakage past the piston, pressure loss, and erratic spray performance. Replacing with genuine Titan 245-014 restores correct packing preload, eliminates bypass, and ensures long seal life.
| Packing compression | Maintains seal contact as packings wear |
|---|---|
| Leak prevention | Prevents fluid bypass around piston |
| Self‑adjustment | Automatically compensates for wear |
| Broken spring | Spring found in pieces during rebuild |
|---|---|
| Loss of tension | Spring permanently compressed, no force |
| Corrosion | Rust or pitting on stainless steel |
| Fluid bypass | Material leaking past piston despite new packings |
Titan part 245-014 is compatible with the following sprayer models. Always confirm fitment using the correct parts diagram for your exact machine and serial number.
| Model / Series | Component |
|---|---|
| Hydra M 2000, Hydra M 4000 | Lower Packing Spring |
| Hydra Pro Super | Lower Packing Spring |
| Admiral 830‑331, 860‑451, 830‑451, 941‑441 | Lower Packing Spring |
| Commander 741‑440, 761‑301, 761‑411, 741‑331 | Lower Packing Spring |
When replacing the lower packing spring, consider inspecting or replacing these associated fluid section components.
Always replace the upper and lower packings together with the spring for a complete seal overhaul.
Some models use both upper and lower springs; replace both for balanced compression.
Inspect for scoring or wear; a damaged piston will ruin new packings and springs quickly.
