It measures 0.313 inches in outside diameter and 1.5 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.023 inches. The spring delivers a maximum working load of 0.52 pounds and a spring rate of 1.0 pound per inch, making it well suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force over short travel distances. The closed end configuration provides stable seating and even load distribution. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, or general mechanical service will find this spring a straightforward drop-in utility component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring is intended for use in light mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, short-travel compression element is required. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, actuator return systems, control linkages, and equipment latches across residential and light commercial service contexts. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives. Sold in packages of six units, it is suitable for service technicians stocking common hardware for field repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed end type provides stable, flat seating surface under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.313 inches outside diameter fits standard small-bore spring pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 inches free length with a compressed solid height of 0.41 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working load of 0.52 pounds at a spring rate of 1.0 pound per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain finish with silver color for easy visual identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style utility replacement compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.313 inches OD, 1.5 inches free length, closed-end spring in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression springs into mechanical assemblies should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host equipment. Relieve all mechanical tension and de-energize or shut off the associated system before replacing any spring component. Verify that the replacement spring seats fully and squarely in its pocket before reassembling the mechanism. Do not stretch or pre-compress the spring beyond its rated solid height during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.313 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\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.023 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.41 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 pound per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.52 pounds (2.31 N)\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: Utility\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: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\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: SS-11M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51998576869682,"sku":"SS-11M","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce56fb6b0c815665ef3763b74ddad52c.jpg?v=1789994945","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-ss-11m-utility-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
