It measures 0.375 inches in outside diameter and 1.5 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0476 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 11.79 pounds and a spring rate of 17.67 pounds per inch. Its closed end type provides stable seating against mating surfaces. Designed for general-purpose compression applications, this spring suits mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and consistent force characteristics are required. It is a standard catalog item used by maintenance technicians, assemblers, and trade professionals across a range of industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis utility compression spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant compression element is needed. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments subject to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature variation. Typical installations include valve assemblies, equipment latches, flow control components, and general mechanical linkages. The 0.375 inch OD fits standard spring pockets and housings sized for 3\/8 inch nominal outside diameter springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed end type ensures stable, flat seating against hardware surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.375 inch outside diameter fits standard 3\/8 inch spring pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 17.67 pounds per inch delivers predictable, linear force response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 11.79 pounds suits light-duty to medium-duty compression applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.584 inches limits coil bind under full compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style utility compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.375 inch outside diameter closed-end spring in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Ensure the spring pocket or housing bore is clean and free of debris before seating the spring. Confirm alignment of the closed ends against mating seats to prevent lateral deflection under load. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.584 inches during assembly or operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0476 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.584 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.79 pounds (307.64 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.67 pounds per inch\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\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: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: C36C-SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52089053315378,"sku":"C36C-SS","price":17.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e7140a9627e4f8b8c671a3562bbe3a6d.jpg?v=1790061496","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-c36c-ss-compression-spring-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
