Gardner Spring GSD-6 Extension Spring 0.46in Od 16.5in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GSD-6 is a galvanized carbon steel extension spring designed for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment linkages, and tensioning applications across a range of trade and industrial settings. It features a 0.46-inch outside diameter, a 0.0625-inch wire diameter, and an overall length of 16.5 inches. The side loop end configuration makes it straightforward to attach to hooks, pins, or anchor points. Licensed contractors and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, door mechanisms, damper linkages, and general mechanical systems commonly specify this type of spring as a direct replacement or service part.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant tensioning component is required. The galvanized zinc-plated finish provides added resistance to moisture and corrosion, making it appropriate for installations in mechanical rooms, rooftop units, or other environments with exposure to humidity. Each package contains 3 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.46-inch OD, 16.5-inch length, side loop configuration in carbon steel construction.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with mechanical tensioning components. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before replacing springs to prevent injury from stored energy. Ensure the mounting hooks or anchor points are rated for the spring load before installation. Inspect end loops and attachment hardware for wear or deformation before placing the assembly back into service.
