It has an outside diameter of 0.273 inches and a free length of 1.004 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 10.37 pounds and a spring rate of 3.42 inch-pounds per inch, making it well suited for applications that demand consistent, repeatable force in a compact envelope. Closed ends provide stable seating against mating surfaces without the need for additional hardware. This spring is used in mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing valve components, electrical hardware, and general industrial or OEM applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is appropriate for light-duty precision mechanical applications where controlled deflection and consistent load response are required. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments, making it a practical choice for plumbing, pool equipment, and outdoor HVAC assemblies. The small form factor fits tight clearances common in actuator mechanisms, valve bodies, and control linkages. It is sold in a package quantity of three units, with no minimum order requirement above a single package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed end type provides flat, stable seating on mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision spring type ensures tight dimensional and load tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 3.42 inch-pounds per inch for predictable force response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 10.37 pounds within a compact 0.273-inch OD profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain finish with silver color; compatible with a wide range of assembly environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring suitable for mechanical assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, and electrical hardware applications where a 0.273-inch OD closed-end stainless steel spring is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompression springs of this type are installed by qualified mechanical technicians or field service professionals during equipment assembly or component replacement. Ensure the mating spring seat and guide bore are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent coil bind or misalignment. De-energize and depressurize any system before disassembling valve bodies or actuator mechanisms that retain this spring. Do not stretch or pre-load the spring beyond its design free length during handling, as permanent set can alter the spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.273 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.285 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.42 inch-pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: MC050-0255-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51961991823666,"sku":"MC050-0255-S","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c96184cd93871d10bc7bc2b42d9271ae.jpg?v=1789947401","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-mc050-0255-s-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
