It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter, a 0.5-inch free length, and a 0.0421-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a spring rate of 92.17 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 18 pounds (73.45 N). The closed and ground end type provides stable seating and consistent load distribution under compression. This part is specified by mechanical engineers and installed by technicians across HVAC, instrumentation, and light industrial assemblies where precise, repeatable spring force is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 36338GS is suited for applications requiring a compact, high-precision compression spring in tight-clearance assemblies. Its 0.25-inch hole diameter fit and 0.327-inch solid height make it appropriate for use in valve mechanisms, actuator assemblies, and small mechanical controls found in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing valve bodies, and industrial equipment. The plain silver finish and stainless steel construction resist corrosion in moderate-moisture environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and consistent load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 92.17 pounds per inch for predictable, linear compression response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 18 pounds (73.45 N) within a compact 0.5-inch free length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.327-inch solid height allows use in assemblies with limited travel clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added coating thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring for use in valve bodies, actuator mechanisms, and mechanical control assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD spring with closed and ground ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical technicians during valve or actuator service. De-energize and depressurize the system fully before disassembly. Verify the spring seats flush against both contact surfaces before reassembly to ensure consistent load behavior. Inspect the mating bore and rod dimensions against the 0.25-inch hole diameter specification prior to installation.\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\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0421 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 92.17 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 pounds (73.45 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.327 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole 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: Stainless Steel\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: 36338GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972047405362,"sku":"36338GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2922f7024674811749ecff62fc360c54.jpg?v=1789961903","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36338gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
