It measures 0.36 inches outside diameter with a 0.5 inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.0319 inches. The spring delivers a maximum load capacity of 5.43 pounds and a spring rate of 15.65 pounds per inch, making it well suited for applications that require precise force and deflection characteristics in a compact form factor. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer across its working range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical, instrumentation, HVAC control, and fluid-handling assemblies where a small-diameter, high-precision compression element is required. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it a practical choice for wet or chemically active environments such as plumbing valve assemblies, pool equipment, or HVAC actuator mechanisms. Technicians and assemblers working with small-format spring packs will find the dimensional consistency and material grade useful for maintaining tight tolerance fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 15.65 pounds per inch supports predictable deflection under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 5.43 pounds within a compact 0.5 inch free length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish with no additional coating that could affect dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36 inch outside diameter spring with a 3\/8 inch hole diameter fit and a 0.5 inch free length. Verify solid height of 0.145 inches and spring rate against your application requirements before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical assemblers or trade technicians during valve, actuator, or component servicing. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize the assembly before removing or replacing compression springs. Use appropriate hand tools and avoid overstressing the spring beyond its maximum work load to prevent set or permanent deformation. Verify seating surfaces are clean and flat to ensure the closed and ground ends seat correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0319 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.145 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter (Fit)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15.65 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.43 pounds (24.16 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36060GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52075217158450,"sku":"36060GS","price":16.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d087b44d9541e743f6aa6c6d57147bb.jpg?v=1790051790","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36060gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
