Built from steel with a zinc finish, this closed-end spring measures 0.313 inches in outside diameter and 1.25 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0287 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 4.54 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 4.21 pounds. The solid height is 0.323 inches. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment repair professionals commonly install this type of spring in assemblies requiring consistent return force in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C15C suits residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter compression spring is needed. Typical applications include valve returns, latch mechanisms, electrical contact assemblies, and general fixture work. Its closed-end design provides a flat seating surface, making it suitable for applications that require stable axial loading. The compact dimensions allow installation in tight housings and spring pockets where larger springs cannot fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed end type provides stable axial seating and consistent load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.313 inches outside diameter fits compact spring pockets and housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.54 pounds per inch spring rate delivers predictable, linear return force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 4.21 pounds suits light-duty mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in standard environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.323 inches limits travel and prevents coil binding under full compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a utility-grade compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.313 inch OD closed-end spring with a 1.25 inch free length and a 4.54 pound per inch spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and replace compression springs with the assembly fully de-energized and depressurized. Verify the spring pocket diameter and depth against the spring's outside diameter and free length before installation. Use appropriate hand tools or spring insertion tools to seat the spring squarely against both mating surfaces. Inspect the spring seat and housing bore for wear or deformation that could cause off-axis loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Utility Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.313 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0287 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.54 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.21 pounds (18.73 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.323 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: C15C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52011636556082,"sku":"C15C","price":23.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8a3ab5c23d5b8715f0ebfd6cb3b97b94.jpg?v=1790004799","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-c15c-utility-compression-spring-0-313in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
