Gardner Spring 8C14C Compression Spring 0.64 in Od 12 in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 8C14C is a cut-to-length compression spring designed for applications requiring a customizable working length. With a 0.64-inch outside diameter, 0.08-inch wire diameter, and a free length of 12 inches, this spring can be trimmed to the required working length on the job. The spring rate of 6.6 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable resistance across the compression range. Constructed from galvanized steel with open ends, it suits mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, industrial fixtures, and other trade applications where a standard coil spring must be sized to fit. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers handle installation.

This spring is suited for residential and light commercial settings where a compression spring of moderate diameter and adjustable length is required. Typical use cases include HVAC damper linkages, plumbing valve assemblies, industrial machinery, and general mechanical hardware applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in moderately humid or exposed environments. The open-end design allows straightforward trimming with appropriate spring cutters to achieve the desired working length without specialized equipment.

Key Features

• 0.64-inch outside diameter and 0.08-inch wire diameter for consistent coil geometry
• 6.6 pounds per inch spring rate delivers predictable, linear compression resistance
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or exposed environments
• Open-end type enables flat seating or trimming without grinding
• Gray finish for easy visual identification in hardware inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.64-inch outside diameter coil spring with a 6.6 pounds per inch spring rate and up to 12 inches of free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or experienced tradespeople familiar with spring hardware. De-energize or shut down any system before replacing or trimming compression springs to prevent unexpected movement or injury. Use appropriate spring cutters rated for the wire diameter when cutting to length. Confirm the trimmed working length and load requirements match the assembly specifications before finalizing installation.
