Gardner Spring 36326G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36326G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 compliant music wire to ASTM A228 and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 1.5 inch free length, and a 0.0319 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers an 11 pound per inch spring rate with a maximum work load of 10 pounds (44.48 N). Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating in mechanical assemblies. The plain silver finish indicates uncoated music wire construction. Maintenance technicians, OEM assemblers, and field service professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment applications install this spring type.

This spring is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a small-diameter, moderate-load compression spring is required. Typical use cases include valve assemblies, actuator returns, pressure relief mechanisms, and general OEM component replacement. The 0.25 inch hole diameter fit and compact solid height of 0.588 inches make it appropriate for tight-clearance spring pockets in manufactured equipment and replacement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical technicians and OEM assembly personnel. Before servicing any assembly containing this spring, de-energize and lock out the equipment per applicable safety procedures. Ensure the spring pocket diameter and depth match the 0.25 inch hole diameter fit and 1.5 inch free length before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.588 inches during assembly or operation.
