Gardner Spring 8C15C Compression Spring 0.576 in Od 12 in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 8C15C is a cut-to-length compression spring designed for applications requiring field-trimmed or custom-length solutions. Built from galvanized steel with open ends, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 5.6 pounds per inch and features a 0.576-inch outside diameter with a 0.072-inch wire diameter. The 12-inch free length allows installers and technicians to cut the spring to the exact working length required for the job. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, and industrial or trade applications where a standard off-the-shelf spring length may not match the required travel.

This spring is applicable across a wide range of residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical uses include valve actuation, damper control, tension mechanisms, and component return assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical equipment. The gray galvanized finish provides basic corrosion resistance for moderate-exposure environments. Supplied in a package quantity of three, it suits service shops and field technicians who stock commonly needed spring sizes for repair and fabrication work.

Compatibility

Designed as a versatile cut-to-length compression spring for use in HVAC, mechanical, and industrial assemblies where a 0.576-inch OD open-end steel compression spring with a 5.6 pound-per-inch spring rate is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out all associated equipment before replacing or trimming springs in any assembly. Use appropriate cutting tools to achieve a clean, square cut when trimming to length, as uneven cuts can affect load distribution and seating. Verify the trimmed free length and spring rate meet the equipment manufacturer's specifications before returning the assembly to service.
