Gardner Spring C29C Compression Spring 0.375in Od Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING C29C is a closed-end utility compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance and reliable load performance across a wide range of service environments. The spring measures 0.375 inches in outside diameter and 1.5 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0346 inches. It delivers a maximum work load of 5.99 pounds and a spring rate of 5.49 pounds per inch. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, plumbing hardware, or light industrial machinery will encounter this spring type regularly.

This compression spring is suited for residential and commercial applications where a compact, moderate-load spring is required. Its utility classification makes it appropriate for a broad range of OEM and replacement installations including valve assemblies, control mechanisms, latching components, and equipment panels. The closed end type provides stable seating against flat surfaces, which is particularly useful in confined mounting pockets or spring-loaded fixtures.

Key Features

• Closed end type for stable, flat-surface seating in spring pockets
• 0.375 inches outside diameter fits standard small-bore spring seats
• 5.99 pound maximum work load suitable for light to moderate mechanical duty
• 5.49 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable deflection under load
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Solid height of 0.41 inches prevents coil bind under full compression

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style utility compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.375 inch OD closed-end spring with a 1.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed mechanic, HVAC technician, or qualified maintenance technician depending on the end application. Always de-energize or shut off the equipment being serviced before removing or installing springs. Use appropriate hand tools to compress and seat the spring safely, avoiding overcompression beyond the solid height. Verify spring orientation and end seating before returning the assembly to service.
