Part 805-267A is a piston assembly designed for Helix spray equipment. This assembly is a critical internal component responsible for generating the pumping action that moves fluid through the system under pressure. The piston assembly includes the piston rod, seals, and associated components necessary to restore proper pump function when wear or damage has occurred.

The 805-267A piston assembly is a precision-engineered replacement component for the Helix VR and Helix FR spray systems, serving as the core pumping element that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic pressure for fluid delivery. Within the pump cylinder, this piston assembly reciprocates to create alternating suction and compression cycles, drawing fluid from the supply source and forcing it through the system at controlled pressure. The assembly is manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure proper sealing against the cylinder wall, minimizing internal leakage and maintaining consistent output pressure across a range of operating conditions. As the piston cycles, it is subjected to continuous wear from friction, abrasive particles that may be present in coating materials, and the chemical effects of various fluids being pumped. Over time, the piston rod surface may develop wear patterns, seals may degrade, or the assembly may become damaged due to contamination or operation with inadequate fluid supply. When these conditions occur, the piston assembly's ability to maintain proper sealing is compromised, resulting in reduced pressure, erratic flow, increased cycling frequency, or complete loss of output. The 805-267A piston assembly is a complete replacement unit that restores the pump to original performance specifications. Installation involves accessing the pump cylinder, removing the existing piston assembly, inspecting the cylinder bore for damage, and installing the new assembly with appropriate lubrication and sealing procedures. This component is essential for maintaining the Helix VR and Helix FR equipment in professional operating condition, ensuring that contractors can rely on consistent pressure and flow for demanding applications where downtime directly impacts productivity and profitability.
| Fluid displacement | Creates the reciprocating action that draws fluid in and forces it out under pressure |
|---|---|
| Pressure generation | Converts mechanical drive force into hydraulic pressure for spraying operations |
| Sealing function | Maintains separation between fluid chamber and drive components while preventing internal leakage |
| Loss of pressure | Inability to reach or maintain operating pressure despite proper pump adjustment |
|---|---|
| Erratic output | Fluctuating pressure, surging, or inconsistent spray pattern during operation |
| Excessive cycling | Pump cycles more frequently than normal, indicating internal leakage past the piston |
| Visible wear or damage | Scored piston rod surface, damaged seals, or contamination from degraded components |
Part 805-267A piston assembly is compatible with the following Helix spray equipment models. Always verify fitment using the correct parts diagram for your exact machine revision.

When replacing the piston assembly, these related components are often inspected or replaced to ensure complete pump restoration and prevent premature failure of the new assembly.
The cylinder bore should be inspected for scoring, pitting, or out-of-round conditions that could prevent proper sealing with the new piston assembly.
Seals and packings that contact the piston or cylinder may need replacement to ensure proper sealing and prevent fluid leakage.
Valve assemblies should be inspected for wear or debris that could affect pump performance after piston replacement.
