It measures 0.187 inches in outside diameter with an overall free length of 1.25 inches and a maximum extended length of 1.99 inches. The wire diameter is 0.023 inches, and the spring delivers a rate of 2.44 lb\/in with a maximum work load of 2.33 pounds. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-exposure environments. Typically installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or trade professionals during equipment repair or fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extension spring suits residential and light commercial mechanical applications where consistent return tension is required over a short travel range. The cross-over end style allows for straightforward hook engagement on standard mounting points. Common install scenarios include HVAC damper linkages, control panel assemblies, door latch mechanisms, and small appliance repair. It is sold in packages of 12 pieces, making it practical for shop stock or service van inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-over end style for reliable hook-to-hook or hook-to-pin engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.187 inches outside diameter suits compact mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.44 lb\/in spring rate provides predictable, consistent return force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in light-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum extended length of 1.99 inches with a 2.33 lb work load limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 12 pieces per unit for convenient shop or van stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-geometry extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.187 inch OD, cross-over end, zinc-plated steel spring with a 2.44 lb\/in rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtension springs store energy under tension and should be installed and removed with appropriate hand tools to prevent snap-back injury. Ensure mounting hooks or pins are fully seated before applying load, and confirm the assembly does not exceed the 2.33 lb maximum work load. Inspect hook engagement points for wear or deformation before reinstalling a replacement spring. Follow all applicable equipment manufacturer service procedures when replacing springs in powered or pressurized assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.187 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.023 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Free Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.99 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.44 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.33 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cross-Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\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: E1C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52102732677426,"sku":"E1C","price":18.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fccda69ccacdcb92e3ae4c147bbd37c5.jpg?v=1790070677","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-e1c-extension-spring-0-187in-od-2-33lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
