Gardner Spring 36002G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36002G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.12 inch outside diameter, a 0.016 inch wire diameter, and a free length of 0.75 inches. The spring delivers a 5 lb/in spring rate with a maximum work load of 2.5 pounds. With closed and ground ends and a plain silver finish, this spring is designed for consistent, repeatable performance in precision mechanical assemblies. Maintenance technicians, OEM equipment builders, and trade professionals install these in control mechanisms, valve assemblies, and instrumentation components across HVAC, plumbing, and related equipment.

This compression spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where a compact, low-load spring element is required. Its small form factor makes it a practical fit for actuator mechanisms, pressure relief components, and similar assemblies in HVAC controls, plumbing valves, and electrical equipment. The 0.125 inch hole diameter clearance and solid height of 0.305 inches support straightforward drop-in integration in standard spring pockets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical or HVAC technicians as part of valve, actuator, or control component service. De-energize and isolate any system before disassembling spring-loaded components. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or removing small-diameter springs. Verify the replacement spring rate and free length match the original specification before reassembly.
