Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36136G is a utility compression spring manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 0.295 inches in outside diameter and has a free length of 2 inches, with a wire diameter of 0.016 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 0.34 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 0.49 lb. Featuring closed ends and a solid height of 0.24 inches, this spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across a wide range of industrial and trade applications. Maintenance technicians, OEM assemblers, and service professionals commonly stock these springs for general-purpose use.

This utility compression spring fits light-load applications where a small-diameter, low-rate spring is required. Typical uses include valve assemblies, control linkages, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, and electrical enclosures. Its compact form factor and closed-end design make it straightforward to seat in standard spring pockets or against flat surfaces in confined spaces. It is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock.
