Gardner Spring GE0240-0371120S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-0371120S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent tensile return force. With an outside diameter of 0.24 inches, a maximum extended length of 1.61 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.037 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 14.2516 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.6952 pounds. It is suited for precision applications in HVAC equipment, plumbing components, and general mechanical devices where repeatable extension force in a compact form factor is required. Technicians and assemblers working with damper linkages, valve mechanisms, or similar small-part assemblies are the typical installers.

This extension spring fits applications where a compact, light-force return mechanism is needed. Common installation scenarios include actuator linkages, small valve assemblies, panel latches, and damper return mechanisms found in residential and light commercial HVAC systems and plumbing equipment. The spring is packaged in a quantity of three pieces per unit, making it suitable for service kits or multi-point installations requiring matched components.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.24 inches for compact installation clearances
• Maximum extended length of 1.61 inches for controlled travel range
• Wire diameter of 0.037 inches providing consistent coil geometry
• Spring rate of 14.2516 pounds per inch for predictable extension force
• Initial tension of 0.6952 pounds ensures coils remain closed at rest
• Packaged in a set of 3 pieces to support multi-point or replacement service needs

Compatibility

Designed as a precision extension spring replacement for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch outside diameter and 14.2516 pound per inch spring rate in HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the mechanical assembly being serviced. Depressurize or de-energize the relevant system before replacing any spring component to prevent unexpected movement or injury. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the spring hooks or loops without overextending the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length. Overextension beyond the rated length can permanently deform the spring and compromise return force.
