Gardner Spring 36062G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36062G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.36 inches in outside diameter and 1.5 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 5.5 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 6.25 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable, square seating under compression. Licensed technicians and maintenance professionals in HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and industrial service work rely on this type of spring for precise load and deflection control in assemblies requiring consistent return force.

This compression spring is suited for light-duty mechanical applications where a compact, accurate spring with predictable load characteristics is required. Typical use cases include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, equipment latches, and other residential or commercial mechanical systems where repeatable spring force and dimensional consistency matter. The 0.375-inch hole diameter recommendation and 0.338-inch solid height support direct drop-in use in standard spring pockets and housings.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating under load
• Spring rate of 5.5 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum working load of 6.25 pounds
• Compact 0.338-inch solid height suits tight clearance installations
• Plain silver finish with no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or service compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter spring with a 1.5-inch free length and 5.5 pounds per inch spring rate. Recommended hole diameter is 0.375 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host assembly and its service procedures. De-energize and depressurize the system before removing or replacing any spring components. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the spring squarely against mating surfaces, ensuring closed ground ends are fully contacted. Do not exceed the rated maximum working load during compression or installation.
