Gardner Spring 36299GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36299GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to AISI 302 and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 1.25 inch free length, and a 0.022 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 2.87 lb/in and a maximum work load of 3.0 pounds. With closed and ground ends, it provides consistent seating and predictable load performance. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and light-load applications across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial equipment. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or field service engineers working with precision hardware.

The 36299GS fits into applications requiring a small-diameter, light-duty compression spring with stable corrosion resistance. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemical contact. The 0.25 inch hole diameter fitment and 0.283 inch solid height make it compatible with compact spring pockets and guided assemblies in residential and light commercial equipment. It is commonly used in valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and control linkages where consistent spring force is critical to reliable operation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards for corrosion resistance and material consistency
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for accurate load transfer
• 2.87 lb/in spring rate delivers predictable, linear compression behavior under load
• Maximum work load of 3.0 pounds suits light-duty mechanical and instrumentation applications
• 0.283 inch solid height supports compact installation in tight spring pockets
• Plain silver finish with no additional coating, ready for direct installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch outside diameter and 1.25 inch free length with a 0.25 inch guided hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by qualified mechanical or field service technicians. Always de-energize and relieve system pressure before disassembling any valve, actuator, or control assembly. Confirm the spring pocket diameter, free length, and solid height match the application requirements before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during assembly.
