Gardner Spring GE0500-045-1500 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0500-045-1500 is a close-wound extension spring designed to resist pulling forces and return to its free length when the load is released. It measures 0.5 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.045 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 4.6 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.7 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty tension applications across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical assemblies. This part ships in a package quantity of three and is installed by technicians and mechanics working on equipment requiring consistent return-force components.

This extension spring fits light-duty mechanical applications where a consistent pull force and reliable return stroke are required. Typical uses include damper linkages, access panel latches, tension-return mechanisms, and small equipment assemblies found in residential and commercial HVAC systems, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical equipment. The plain finish makes it suitable for dry or low-humidity interior environments. Technicians specify this spring when replacing worn or broken return-tension components during preventive maintenance or service calls.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Relieve all stored tension and de-energize any associated equipment before removing the existing spring. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks to seat the end loops securely onto mounting pins or hooks without overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length. Inspect mounting hardware for wear before installing the new spring.
