It measures 0.36 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1 inch and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 3 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating against mating surfaces. The plain silver finish leaves the music wire in its natural state, making it suitable for applications where corrosion exposure is limited. Maintenance technicians, OEM assemblers, and mechanical service professionals use this spring as a direct replacement or new-installation component in light-load mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is sized for use in small mechanical devices, valve assemblies, instrument housings, and light-duty industrial or HVAC control mechanisms where a compact, low-load spring element is required. The 3\/8-inch hole diameter fit and 0.17-inch solid height make it well suited for confined spring pockets with limited travel. It is packaged in quantities of 5, making it practical for bench stock or small-volume repair jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, consistent seating on both contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear deflection under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-pound maximum work load keeps the spring within its elastic range during normal service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMusic wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.17-inch solid height suits shallow spring pockets with minimal clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish; no coating to flake or contaminate the assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter and 1-inch free length with closed and ground ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression springs in mechanical assemblies is typically performed by maintenance technicians or assemblers. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize any actuators or valve mechanisms before removing or installing springs. Verify the spring pocket diameter and solid height clearance match the application before compressing the spring to working load. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height, as this will permanently set the coils and alter the rated spring rate.\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\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds (15.57 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.026 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: 36398G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52039445217586,"sku":"36398G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a6f1a6e3f6f1d2a5851e8acd7d7be279.jpg?v=1790026197","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36398g-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
