Gardner Spring GE0240-022-1750 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-022-1750 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning applications across HVAC, mechanical, and general trade equipment. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1-3/4 inches and a maximum extended length of 5.16 inches. Wire diameter is 0.022 inches with a spring rate of 0.6 pounds per inch and an initial tension of 0.19 pounds. The plain finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction suited for dry or protected environments. Sold in packages of 3, this spring is a practical stocking item for service technicians who need consistent tensioning components on hand.

This extension spring fits applications requiring a low spring rate and compact form factor. Typical uses include damper linkages, control arm returns, door latch mechanisms, and light equipment tensioning systems found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, plumbing access panels, and general mechanical assemblies. The 5.16-inch maximum extended length and 1-3/4-inch inside hook length make it well suited for short-stroke tensioning tasks where precise force control at low loads is required. Service technicians and mechanical contractors commonly stock springs in this size range for field repairs and OEM-style replacements.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians familiar with tensioning components. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing springs to prevent unexpected movement. Use appropriate spring hooks or installation tools to avoid overstretching beyond the maximum extended length of 5.16 inches, which can permanently deform the spring. Inspect mating hook points and anchor hardware for wear before installation.
