Gardner Spring 36380GS Compression Spring 0.3in Od Ss

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36380GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to deliver consistent, repeatable force in demanding mechanical and industrial applications. It features a 0.3000-inch outside diameter and a 1.25-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0382 inches. The spring rate is 13.91 pounds per inch, and the maximum working load is 12.0 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load transfer. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC, plumbing, valve, or general mechanical assemblies rely on this spring type for precise load control in tight tolerances.

This compression spring is suited for applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant spring element in residential and light commercial equipment. Typical installations include valve assemblies, pressure regulators, control mechanisms, and mechanical sub-assemblies where a stable spring rate and reliable max load capacity are critical. The plain finish and silver color make it easy to identify and inspect during assembly or maintenance operations. It is sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Installation Notes

Install by qualified mechanical assemblers or technicians familiar with spring-loaded component assemblies. Confirm the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.3130-inch hole diameter spec and that the rod or mandrel is sized within the spring inside diameter before installation. De-energize or depressurize any system before removing or replacing spring components. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.4950 inches during installation or operation.
