Gardner Spring V33C Extension Spring 1.65 Lb 6 Inch Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V33C is a small-diameter galvanized steel extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning applications across mechanical, HVAC, and general industrial assemblies. It measures 0.14 inches in outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.0181 inches and an overall free length of 6 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 0.27 lb/in, a maximum work load of 1.65 lb, and an initial tension of 0.30 lb. The zinc-plated galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. Sold in a package of 6 pieces, it suits applications where multiple springs are installed in tandem or replaced as a set.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial equipment where small, precise tensioning components are required. Typical install scenarios include damper linkages, control panel assemblies, door latch return mechanisms, and similar hardware found in HVAC units, electrical enclosures, and appliance assemblies. Its small OD and fine wire diameter make it a fit for compact mounting spaces where larger springs cannot be accommodated. Technicians working on damper actuators, access door returns, or similar spring-loaded components will find this a standard replacement format.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-duty mechanical and HVAC assembly applications requiring a 0.14 inch OD, 6 inch free-length steel extension spring.

Installation Notes

Extension springs of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or mechanical assembly personnel. Power down and de-energize all associated equipment before removing or installing any spring-loaded components. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks rated for the application -- avoid overstretching beyond the maximum extended length of 10.88 inches, as permanent deformation or failure may result. Inspect hook ends and anchor points for wear before reinstalling.
