It features a 0.313-inch outside diameter and a 2.25-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0346 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 9.01 pounds and a spring rate of 5.71 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for light-duty compression applications where consistent force and return are required. Closed ends provide stable seating and even load distribution. This spring is typically installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or field service professionals working on light mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis utility compression spring fits a wide range of general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial assembly applications. It is used wherever a small-diameter compression spring with a reliable spring rate and moderate load capacity is needed. Common install scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and equipment access panels. The closed-end design allows for flat seating on both ends, reducing lateral movement during compression cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.313-inch outside diameter for tight-space fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.25-inch free length with a solid height of 0.671 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 5.71 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 9.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed end type for stable, flat seating on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit utility compression spring for general mechanical and light industrial assemblies requiring a 0.313-inch OD, 2.25-inch free length compression spring with closed ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical technician or field service professional. Before replacing or installing a compression spring in any assembly, relieve system pressure and de-energize any connected electrical or mechanical components. Use appropriate hand tools and wear eye protection, as compressed springs can release stored energy unexpectedly. Verify spring seating on both ends before returning the assembly to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0346 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.671 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.71 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Utility\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\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: C26C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52015846850866,"sku":"C26C","price":23.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/21fa09455f6cb71c21d637cc717b6d5e_e4ac440c-2d2c-4899-a6f2-68c11e83d385.jpg?v=1790008175","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-c26c-compression-spring-0-313in-od-2-25in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
