It features a 0.375-inch outside diameter, a wire diameter of 0.0475 inches, and a spring rate of 6.97 lb\/in. The cross-over end style provides a secure hook-to-hook connection in confined mounting arrangements. At a maximum work load of 10.03 lb and a maximum extended length of 3.1 inches, this spring delivers predictable, repeatable force output. The plain stainless steel finish resists corrosion in damp or outdoor service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring suits residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant tension element is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC damper return assemblies, access panel latches, valve linkages, and general mechanical tensioning points. The cross-over end configuration allows straightforward attachment to hooks, pins, or anchor posts without secondary hardware. It is sold in a package quantity of three units, making it practical for service trucks and parts-room stocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-over end style for secure hook-to-hook or pin mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 6.97 lb\/in for consistent, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 10.03 lb with a maximum extended length of 3.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.375-inch OD fits tight clearance mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of three for service stock efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock extension spring for light-duty mechanical and HVAC assemblies requiring a 0.375-inch OD cross-over end spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, or maintenance trades. Shut down and de-energize any associated equipment before removing or installing tension springs to prevent unexpected movement of linked components. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the cross-over ends fully on their anchor points before restoring load. Verify the installed free length and extended length against the assembly specification before returning the system 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: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0475 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.03 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.97 lb\/in\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: E38C-SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51997763862834,"sku":"E38C-SS","price":15.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5d2a26c9a060c99d8882ca7102f490a2.jpg?v=1789994346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-e38c-ss-extension-spring-0-375in-od-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
