Gardner Spring GE0240-0221250S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-0221250S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications across mechanical, HVAC, and equipment assembly uses. The spring measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a 0.022 inches wire diameter and delivers a spring rate of 0.7821 pounds per inch. An initial tension of 0.1651 pounds keeps the coils closed at rest before load is applied. This part ships in a quantity of three pieces per package, making it practical for service kits or bench-stock replenishment.

This extension spring fits applications where a compact, light coil is needed to maintain tension, return a lever, or close a damper linkage. Typical uses include HVAC damper assemblies, control linkages, electrical enclosure latches, and light mechanical subassemblies found in both residential and commercial equipment. The small outside diameter suits tight clearance mounting locations where larger springs will not fit. Installers working on OEM-style equipment replacements or custom fabrication will find the close-tolerance dimensions useful for drop-in fitment.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style extension spring suitable for light mechanical tensioning applications in HVAC equipment, damper assemblies, and related trade hardware where a 0.24 inches OD extension spring with matching hook geometry is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, or equipment service personnel. Power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any existing spring tension before removing or installing extension springs. Use appropriate pliers or hook tools designed for spring work to avoid overstretching the coils beyond the maximum extended length, which can permanently deform the spring. Always verify the replacement spring rate and hook dimensions match the original equipment specification before finalizing the installation.
