Gardner Spring 36452G Compression Spring 0.42in Od 1in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36452G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.42 inch outside diameter and a 1 inch free length, making it a compact, high-cycle component suited for mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, and industrial tooling applications. The spring delivers a rate of 44 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 23 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable force characteristics across its operating range. Closed and ground ends ensure flat, stable seating on mating surfaces, which is critical for applications requiring accurate load transfer and minimal lateral deflection.

This compression spring is used in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing valve bodies, electrical panel components, and general industrial machinery. Its compact profile and precision tolerances make it appropriate for installations where spring performance must remain consistent over repeated compression cycles. Technicians and assemblers working on equipment requiring standardized spring replacement will find this part conforms to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards. Package quantity is 5 units per order.

• Plain silver finish with 0.469 inch solid height for compact stack dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.42 inch outside diameter, 1 inch free length, closed and ground end spring with a 44 pound per inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are typically installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or industrial maintenance personnel as part of valve, actuator, or mechanical assembly service. Before replacing, power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any system pressure per applicable safety procedures. Confirm the mating hole diameter does not exceed 0.438 inches as specified for this spring. Avoid over-compressing beyond the solid height of 0.469 inches to prevent permanent set or coil damage.
