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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.6 lb\/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable tension force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.045 inches wire diameter for light-duty pull applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 inches outside diameter fits standard spring pockets and guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 inches free length with a maximum extended length of 2.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial tension of 0.7 pounds holds the spring closed before load is applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain finish for use in dry interior mechanical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-duty tension applications in residential and commercial mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing equipment assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtension 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.6 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GE0500-045-1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971420029234,"sku":"GE0500-045-1500","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b918f37ed662576e1ad1e88e52f14db9.jpg?v=1789957144","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-ge0500-045-1500-extension-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
