    Abstract: A fuel nozzle for a gas turbine engine has a spray tip and a housing coaxially disposed around the spray tip. Bi-directional axial movement of the spray tip relative to the housing is constrained by first and second rows of tabs formed on one of the housing and the spray tip and a third row of tabs formed on the other one of the housing and the spray tip. The third row of tabs is disposed between the first and second rows to constrain spray tip motion in either axial direction.
