Gardner Spring GE0240-037-1500 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-037-1500 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tension applications across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a maximum extended length of 2.2 inches. Wire diameter is 0.037 inches, and the spring delivers a rate of 11.2 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.8 pounds. The plain finish indicates no additional coating, making it suitable for dry or protected environments. This spring is typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or mechanical service professionals working on equipment requiring small tensioning components.

This extension spring fits applications where a compact, light-tension spring is needed to maintain load or return a mechanism to its resting position. Common install scenarios include control linkages, damper actuators, door latches, panel clips, and similar mechanisms in residential and light commercial equipment. It ships in a package quantity of three pieces, making it practical for service trucks or shop stock where spares are kept on hand for quick replacement.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. De-energize or lock out the equipment before replacing any spring component to prevent unexpected movement. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks to seat the inside hooks without overstretching the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length. Always verify the replacement spring matches the required rate and dimensions before completing the repair.
