It features a 0.23-inch outside diameter and a 0.0286-inch wire diameter, with a spring rate of 0.97 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 3.65 pounds. The overall free length is 4 inches, extending to a maximum of 6.96 inches under load. A galvanized, zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and moderate-exposure environments. This spring is handled by maintenance technicians, assembly mechanics, and trade professionals who require precision small-format springs in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general equipment applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V12C is suited for use in residential and light commercial equipment where a compact extension spring is needed for panel latches, damper returns, valve actuators, or similar mechanisms. Its low initial tension of 0.5 pounds allows for smooth engagement at the start of travel. The spring ships in packages of 12 units, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock where multiples are routinely needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.23-inch outside diameter for compact, tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 0.97 lb\/in provides consistent, predictable return force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum extended length of 6.96 inches for flexible travel range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized and zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow initial tension of 0.5 pounds for smooth, low-force engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 12 for efficient shop and field stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service stock extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general equipment applications where a 0.23-inch OD steel extension spring is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize or shut off any powered equipment before removing or installing springs to prevent unexpected movement. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks rated for the load range; do not stretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 6.96 inches, as permanent deformation or failure may result. Inspect hooks and coil ends for damage before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0286 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Free Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.96 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized, Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\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: V12C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52044332728626,"sku":"V12C","price":36.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd3711a5cea6de16dd50066fc0d436d2.jpg?v=1790029756","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-v12c-extension-spring-3-65-lb-max-load","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
