Gardner Spring 36086G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36086G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.0382-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a 6 lb/in spring rate and supports a maximum work load of 7.25 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load distribution. This type of spring is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical maintenance professionals in equipment requiring precise compression force control across a wide range of industrial and trade applications.

This precision compression spring is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where controlled compression force and repeatable spring rate are critical. Typical install scenarios include valve actuators, pressure regulators, flow-control assemblies, and equipment linkage mechanisms. Its 0.5-inch hole diameter compatibility and compact solid height of 0.315 inches make it adaptable to tight-clearance installations. It is sold in packages of five units with a minimum order quantity of one package.

Key Features

• 0.48-inch outside diameter with 0.5-inch hole diameter compatibility for standard bore fitment
• 1.5-inch free length and 0.315-inch solid height for compact, high-travel applications
• 6 lb/in spring rate for precise, predictable compression force
• 7.25-pound maximum work load rated per AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Music wire construction with plain finish for consistent performance and corrosion resistance in dry environments
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length, and 6 lb/in spring rate in residential and commercial trade equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or qualified mechanical service professionals. De-energize or depressurize the host system fully before removing or replacing compression springs. Verify that the spring seats flush against mating surfaces on both ends to ensure consistent load transfer. Inspect bore and shaft clearances against the 0.48-inch OD and 0.5-inch hole diameter to confirm proper fitment before final assembly.
