Gardner Spring 36092G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36092G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.48 inches outside diameter and 1.5 inches free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0449 inches. The spring delivers an 11 pound-per-inch spring rate and handles a maximum work load of 11.5 pounds (51.16 N). Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for consistent load transfer. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals install this spring in equipment requiring precise, repeatable compression force in a compact form factor.

This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, valves, electrical components, and general industrial applications. Its compact outside diameter of 0.48 inches allows fitment in holes up to 0.5 inches in diameter. The solid height of 0.372 inches sets the physical compression limit. Applications typically include valve actuators, latching mechanisms, and spring-loaded assemblies in both residential and commercial equipment.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for flat, consistent seating and accurate load application
• 11 lb/in spring rate for predictable, linear compression force
• 0.48 inches OD fits within a 0.5-inch hole diameter clearance
• Plain silver finish suitable for a wide range of indoor mechanical environments
• Solid height of 0.372 inches defines the maximum compression travel

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring replacement or component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length, closed and ground end compression spring with an 11 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

This spring is installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals as part of valve, actuator, or spring-loaded assemblies. Before servicing any assembly containing compression springs, de-energize the system and relieve any stored mechanical or pneumatic pressure. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing springs, as stored energy can cause sudden movement. Verify seating surfaces are clean and flat to ensure consistent load performance.
