Gardner Spring 36470G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36470G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a 1-inch free length, and a 0.0449-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 17 lb/in and handles a maximum work load of 12 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating on contact surfaces. This spring suits applications in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, and general mechanical systems where consistent, repeatable compression force is required. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers install this type of component across a wide range of light-duty commercial and residential equipment.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a nominal 0.48-inch OD with a 0.50-inch hole diameter clearance. It is suited for use in valves, actuators, latching mechanisms, and similar assemblies found in HVAC controls, plumbing hardware, and electrical enclosures. The music wire construction performs reliably under cyclical compression loads in dry, indoor environments. The 1-inch free length and 0.293-inch solid height give this spring a relatively compact working range appropriate for space-constrained component housings.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating against mating surfaces
• 17 lb/in spring rate for consistent, predictable load response
• 12-pound maximum work load capacity
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain silver finish suitable for dry indoor mechanical assemblies
• Compact 0.293-inch solid height for tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter and 1-inch free length with a closed and ground end configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical assemblers depending on the host equipment. Power down or de-energize all associated equipment and relieve any system pressure before disassembling the component housing. Confirm the replacement spring seats fully and squarely against both contact surfaces before reassembly. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load to avoid permanent deformation of the spring.
