Gardner Spring 36062GS Compression Spring 0.36 in Od Ss

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36062GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable load performance. With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches, a free length of 1.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4.78 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 5.43 pounds. The closed and ground end type provides a stable seating surface for accurate load transfer. Technicians and maintenance professionals working in HVAC, plumbing, and light mechanical assemblies rely on this spring type for valve, actuator, and control mechanism applications.

This compression spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is required. Typical installation scenarios include valve return mechanisms, control linkage assemblies, and component retention applications in equipment exposed to moisture or mild chemical environments. The stainless steel construction and plain finish make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service conditions.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards for corrosion resistance and material consistency
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable bearing surfaces for precise load application
• Spring rate of 4.78 pounds per inch supports predictable deflection under load
• Maximum working load of 5.43 pounds with a solid height of 0.338 inches
• Outside diameter of 0.36 inches fits holes up to 0.375 inches (3/8 inch) in diameter
• Precision-grade construction for consistent performance across repeated compression cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade replacement or service compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36 inch OD, 1.5 inch free length stainless steel spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

This spring is typically installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or maintenance personnel during valve, actuator, or assembly service. Ensure the mating bore or pocket diameter is compatible with the 0.375 inch maximum hole diameter before installation. Relieve system pressure and de-energize any connected components before disassembling spring-loaded assemblies. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.338 inches to prevent permanent set.
