Gardner Spring GE0240-018-2000 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-018-2000 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-load tension applications. It measures 0.24 inches outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.018 inches and a maximum extended length of 8.64 inches. The spring rate is 0.2 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.11 pounds. This type of spring stores energy when stretched and returns to its original length when the load is released. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, appliance service pros, and light mechanical equipment specialists where precise, repeatable tension force is required in compact assemblies.

This extension spring suits residential and light commercial applications where small-diameter, low-load tension components are needed. Typical use cases include damper linkages, control mechanisms, door latching assemblies, and similar mechanical subassemblies found in HVAC equipment, appliances, and trade tools. The 2-inch inside hook length accommodates standard pin and post anchor configurations. Each package contains 3 pieces, making it practical for service calls that may require on-hand spares or simultaneous replacement of multiple springs in an assembly.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with the equipment being serviced. Always de-energize the system and relieve any mechanical tension before removing or installing springs. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection, as extension springs store energy under load and can snap back if released suddenly. Verify hook engagement and anchor points are secure before returning the assembly to service.
