It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch free length, making it a compact, close-tolerance fastening component suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies. The spring delivers a 4.25 lb\/in spring rate and handles a maximum work load of 3 pounds (14.46 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating against mating surfaces. Mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install this type of spring in valves, actuators, and precision equipment requiring consistent return force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical applications where a small-diameter, short-travel return or load-bearing spring is required. Typical use cases include HVAC valve assemblies, pneumatic controls, fluid-handling components, and general industrial equipment. The 0.22-inch wire diameter and 0.225-inch solid height allow for compact installation in tight clearances. A recommended hole diameter of 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch) applies for guided installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating on both contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.25 lb\/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable deflection under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 lb maximum work load (14.46 N) suitable for light-duty precision assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMusic wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.225-inch solid height enables use in compact, space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish with no coating that could alter critical dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD, 1-inch free length, closed and ground end spring in music wire construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower down or depressurize the system before servicing any assembly containing this spring. For guided installations, use the recommended 0.25-inch hole diameter to maintain proper spring alignment and prevent buckling under load. Handle music wire springs carefully during installation to avoid kinking or overstressing beyond the rated maximum work load. Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians following applicable equipment service documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds (14.46 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.225 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.022 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Music Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36296G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108805603634,"sku":"36296G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7247da0d25ae8b969dc84c9cdedc7862.jpg?v=1790075144","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36296g-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
