Gardner Spring 36626GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36626GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable load performance. With a 0.97-inch outside diameter, a 2.5-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.1051 inches, this spring delivers a maximum work load of 57 pounds and a spring rate of 33.04 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and accurate load transfer. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment components, fluid control mechanisms, and other trade and industrial applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are essential.

This compression spring fits into assemblies with a hole diameter of up to 1 inch and compresses to a solid height of 1 inch. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or temperature cycling, including mechanical HVAC components, plumbing valve assemblies, and general-purpose equipment used in residential and commercial trade settings. The plain silver finish requires no additional surface treatment prior to installation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction (AISI 302) for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating for accurate load application
• 57-pound maximum work load with a spring rate of 33.04 pounds per inch
• 0.97-inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch bore or hole assemblies
• 1-inch solid height ensures predictable compression travel
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or service compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.97-inch OD, 2.5-inch free length, and closed and ground end configuration. Verify spring rate, solid height, and load requirements against the original specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing technicians depending on the host assembly. De-energize and depressurize the equipment fully before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Confirm the replacement spring matches the original in free length, OD, wire diameter, and spring rate to avoid load or travel mismatches. Wear appropriate eye protection when handling compressed spring assemblies.
