Gardner Spring GE0360-0551250S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0360-0551250S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-load tensioning applications across HVAC, refrigeration, and general mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.36 inches outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.055 inches and a maximum extended length of 1.66 inches. The spring rate is 33.54 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 1.39 pounds. Packaged in quantities of three, this spring suits technicians and mechanical professionals who need reliable spares for service calls or component-level repairs.

This extension spring fits applications where a compact, low-force tensioning element is needed. Common installations include damper linkages, access panel latches, control arm return mechanisms, and similar light-duty assemblies found in residential and commercial HVAC equipment, refrigeration units, and general trade hardware. The 1-1/4 inch inside hook length accommodates standard hook-style mounting points typically found in these assemblies.

• Maximum extended length of 1.66 inches suits short-travel return applications
• 1-1/4 inch inside hook length fits standard hook mounting hardware
• Packaged in quantities of three for service efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-load tensioning applications in HVAC, refrigeration, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36 inch OD and 0.055 inch wire diameter specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, or mechanical service professionals. De-energize all electrical circuits and relieve any mechanical load on the assembly before removing the original spring. Use appropriate spring hooks or needle-nose pliers to seat the hooks securely on mounting points, and confirm full hook engagement before restoring the assembly to service. Inspect adjacent linkage components for wear before reinstalling.
