Gardner Spring 36104G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36104G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) and finished plain in a silver tone. It measures 0.6 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 15 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 16.25 pounds (72.51 N). Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and parallel load transfer. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, HVAC components, and other precision applications requiring repeatable compression characteristics.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where controlled compression force and dimensional accuracy are required. Typical installation scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and general-purpose equipment found across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance settings. The small form factor and standard outside diameter make it a practical stock replacement for precision spring positions in a wide range of equipment.

Key Features

• Precision-wound music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for stable, parallel seating under load
• Spring rate of 15 pounds per inch for predictable, linear compression response
• Maximum work load of 16.25 pounds (72.51 N)
• Outside diameter of 0.6 inches fits a recommended hole diameter of 0.625 inches (5/8 inch)
• Solid height of 0.427 inches provides a defined compression limit

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch OD, 1.5 inch free length, and 15 pounds per inch spring rate in a music wire grade material.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical and maintenance technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial trades. Always de-energize or depressurize the host assembly before removing or replacing compression springs. Confirm the bore or housing diameter accommodates the 0.625 inch recommended hole diameter before installation. Use appropriate spring installation tools to avoid over-compression beyond solid height during assembly.
