Gardner Spring E32C-SS Extension Spring 0.375in Od Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E32C-SS is a stainless steel extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning applications across HVAC, equipment, and general mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.375 inch outside diameter, a wire diameter of 0.0348 inches, and a spring rate of 1.08 pounds per inch. The maximum work load is 3.99 pounds. At rest, the spring measures 2.25 inches in overall length and extends to a maximum of 5.36 inches under load. The cross-over end style provides reliable loop engagement in standard hook or pin mounting configurations. This spring ships in a package quantity of 6 pieces.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant tensioning component is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC damper linkages, equipment panels, door assemblies, and mechanical control mechanisms that call for a small-diameter stainless steel spring. The plain finish and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or mechanical service professionals. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment and relieve any existing spring tension before removing or installing extension springs. Use appropriate pliers or spring installation tools to seat the cross-over ends fully onto mounting pins or hooks. Verify that the mounting hardware can handle the rated load before returning the assembly to service.
