• wherein:
• a thickness of the spacer body is equal to a thickness of the spacer spring arm to define a uniform spacer thickness of the nozzle cap spacer;
• the cap body defines a first body end and a second body end;
• the threaded bore extends from the second body end of the cap body to an inner wall of the cap body;
• a front spacer surface of the nozzle cap spacer abuts the inner wall
• the bore sidewall defines internal threading and an annular recess;
• the internal threading extends from the second body end towards the inner wall;
• the annular recess is oriented between the internal threading and the inner wall;
• and
• the spacer spring arm extends into the annular recess.
