Gardner Spring V3C Extension Spring 33.97 Lb 0.73 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V3C is a galvanized steel extension spring rated for a maximum work load of 33.97 pounds and a spring rate of 11.22 lb/in. The spring measures 4 inches in overall length with a 0.73-inch outside diameter and a wire diameter of 0.0915 inches. At full extension the maximum extended length reaches 5.74 inches. Initial tension is 10.10 pounds, meaning the spring resists opening until that threshold is overcome. This part is suited for light industrial, HVAC, and mechanical equipment applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant extension spring is required.

The V3C extension spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, including HVAC equipment, damper linkages, and general-purpose tensioning applications. The galvanized zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate environments. This spring ships in a package quantity of three, making it practical for service technicians who need immediate replacements on hand or for shops stocking common hardware sizes.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and must be handled with care during removal and installation to prevent sudden release. Technicians should wear appropriate eye protection and relieve system tension before replacing a spring. Verify that the replacement spring matches the load rating and dimensional specifications of the original before installation. Follow all applicable equipment manufacturer service procedures and relevant mechanical codes during the repair.
