Gardner Spring C11C Utility Compression Spring 0.25in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING C11C is a utility compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. With a 0.25 inch outside diameter and a 2 inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 4.86 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 6.9 pounds. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, the C11C features closed ends and a solid height of 0.58 inches. It is sized for installations where space is limited and reliable load performance is required. Mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals install this type of spring in equipment assemblies, valve mechanisms, and general service hardware.

The C11C is suited for light-duty compression applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Its closed-end design provides stable seating against mating surfaces, making it appropriate for use in HVAC equipment assemblies, plumbing valve components, electrical panel hardware, and similar trade-service applications where a small-diameter compression spring is required. The silver zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for typical indoor service environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a utility compression spring for general mechanical replacement and OEM-style service in light-duty equipment assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch OD closed-end spring.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing technicians as part of equipment service or valve rebuilds. De-energize and isolate the system before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify that the replacement spring matches the original free length, outside diameter, and spring rate before installation to avoid improper load performance. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for assembly torque and seating requirements.
