With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches and a wire diameter of 0.023 inches, this spring operates within a compact profile while delivering a maximum work load of 2.54 pounds and a spring rate of 0.42 lb\/in. The overall free length is 6 inches, extending to a maximum of 10.75 inches under load. A galvanized, zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and light outdoor service environments. Sold in a package of 6 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V31C suits applications requiring consistent, measured tension over a moderate extension range. Typical use cases include HVAC damper linkages, control panel latching mechanisms, light equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where a low-force, small-diameter extension spring is specified. The zinc-plated steel construction holds up in environments with incidental moisture exposure. This spring is appropriate for both OEM equipment assembly and field service replacement work performed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and equipment mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.18 inches outside diameter fits tight clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.023 inches wire diameter with 0.42 lb\/in spring rate for controlled, predictable extension force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum extended length of 10.75 inches with initial tension of 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized, zinc-plated steel finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inch free length suits a wide range of compact mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 6 pieces to support stocking and repeat service calls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a light-duty OEM-style extension spring for mechanical and HVAC equipment assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch OD, 6 inch free length spring with a 0.42 lb\/in spring rate and a maximum extended length of 10.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtension springs should be installed and removed by qualified technicians familiar with stored-energy hazards. Always de-energize or depressurize the associated equipment before servicing spring-loaded assemblies. Use appropriate hooks or tooling to seat the spring ends securely and avoid overstretching beyond the rated maximum extended length of 10.75 inches, which can permanently set or damage the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.54 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.42 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 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\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.75 inches\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: 6 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 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: V31C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52070444171570,"sku":"V31C","price":25.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7ba871dbfc50dc545e26a501d56b33cd_43a94ed7-e408-43b2-8a7d-725169ad082e.jpg?v=1790048495","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-v31c-extension-spring-0-18-in-od-2-54-lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
