Gardner Spring V29C Extension Spring 3.65 Lb 0.23 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V29C is a small-diameter galvanized steel extension spring designed for light-duty tension applications across mechanical, HVAC, and general trade assemblies. With an outside diameter of 0.23 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0286 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 0.6 pounds per inch and an initial tension of 0.7 pounds. It handles a maximum work load of 3.65 pounds and extends to a maximum length of 10.73 inches from a free length of 6 inches. The zinc-plated galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for installations in moderately demanding environments. This part ships in a pack of 6.

The V29C suits applications requiring a compact, low-load tension element. Common uses include damper linkages, access panel latches, equipment covers, and light mechanical assemblies found in HVAC units, plumbing fixtures, and electrical enclosures. The small OD and fine wire diameter make it well-suited for confined mounting spaces where a standard-size spring would not fit. Technicians working on damper actuators, duct hardware, or small appliance mechanisms will find this spring a direct fit for similar low-load tension requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement extension spring suitable for light-duty mechanical and HVAC assemblies requiring a 0.23 inch OD, 6 inch free length tension spring at a 0.6 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and can release suddenly if mishandled - always relieve tension on the assembly before removing or installing the spring. A qualified technician should verify that the replacement spring rate, load rating, and free length match the original design specification before installation. Standard hand tools are sufficient for most installations; do not overstretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 10.73 inches, as this will permanently deform the coils and reduce load capacity.
