It has an outside diameter of 0.1875 inches, a free length of 1.375 inches, and a maximum extended length of 2.31 inches. The wire diameter is 0.026 inches and the spring rate is 3.48 pounds per inch. The maximum work load is 3.74 pounds with an initial tension of 0.5 pounds. Plain finish stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or chemically active environments. This spring is sold in a package of 3 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extension spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial equipment where a small-profile, low-load return or tensioning element is required. Typical applications include damper linkages, control arm return mechanisms, door latch assemblies, and similar spring-loaded components found in HVAC equipment, refrigeration units, and general mechanical assemblies. Its compact OD and moderate spring rate make it a practical replacement or stock component for maintenance and repair work across multiple trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 3.48 lb\/in for predictable, linear extension force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 3.74 pounds with 0.5-pound initial tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.1875 inches fits tight-clearance mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length of 1.375 inches and maximum extended length of 2.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 3 pieces to support stocking and repair inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stock extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 3\/16-inch OD, 1-3\/8-inch free length spring with a 3.48 lb\/in spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by the trade professional servicing the equipment containing this spring. Disconnect power or close all relevant shutoffs before accessing any spring-loaded assembly. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when stretching or seating extension springs, as sudden release can cause injury. Verify the replacement spring rate and load rating match the original specification before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.026 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.48 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 37031GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52101633704242,"sku":"37031GS","price":20.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24d249b942db0f2c8fca69cad0d2bbc0.jpg?v=1790069904","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-37031gs-extension-spring-3-16-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
