Gardner Spring 36014G Compression Spring 0.18in Od Music Wire

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36014G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 0.75 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0181 inches and a solid height of 0.199 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 4 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 2.38 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for consistent load transfer. Licensed technicians and maintenance professionals use this spring in mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, and precision equipment across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial applications.

This spring is suited for compact assemblies where a small-diameter, light-duty compression element is required. Its precision classification means dimensional tolerances are held tightly, making it appropriate for OEM replacement and repair work in residential and commercial equipment. The hole diameter clearance spec of 0.187 inches guides proper bore sizing during installation. Sold in packs of five, it is well suited for service kits and bench stock.

Key Features

• Precision-grade compression spring with closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating
• Music wire construction for consistent tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• 0.18 inches outside diameter fits tight-clearance bores
• 4 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear load response
• 2.38 pounds maximum work load rating
• Plain silver finish with no coating to interfere with close-tolerance fits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement precision compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch outside diameter, 0.75-inch free length, music wire spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or service professionals as part of valve, actuator, or component assembly work. Ensure the mating bore diameter is sized to the 0.187-inch hole diameter specification and that the spring seat surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the spring. De-energize and depressurize any system before disassembling components that retain this spring. Avoid overcompressing beyond the solid height of 0.199 inches during assembly.
