It features a 0.438-inch outside diameter and a free length of 1.875 inches, with a wire diameter of 0.035 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 2.75 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 1.81 pounds. Closed ends provide stable seating against mating components. Technicians and maintenance professionals working across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light mechanical fields commonly stock utility compression springs for valve assemblies, controls, linkages, and related hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring suits a wide range of residential and light commercial applications wherever a small-diameter compression spring is required. Typical installation scenarios include control linkages, valve return mechanisms, latching assemblies, and mounting hardware in equipment cabinets and panels. The stainless steel construction and plain finish make it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. The package quantity is 6 units per order, making it practical to keep spares on hand for service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.438-inch outside diameter fits compact spring pockets and guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.875-inch free length with a solid height of 0.49 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 2.75 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable load response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 1.81 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed end type provides flat, stable seating on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with plain finish for general corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packs of 6 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose utility compression spring suitable for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.438-inch OD closed-end spring within the rated load and rate specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtility compression springs are installed by maintenance technicians, HVAC mechanics, and plumbers during equipment repair or assembly. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before replacing any spring in a control or valve assembly. Verify the spring pocket diameter and seating depth against the spring dimensions before installation to ensure proper fit and function. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.438 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.49 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.81 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: 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: 0.04 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: SS-6M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51975763689778,"sku":"SS-6M","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b6b90bb3fb5031a0431531e6125f60b.jpg?v=1789978306","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-ss-6m-utility-compression-spring-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
