Value Collection 03307790 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307790 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 0.75 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.016 inches. The spring delivers a spring rate of 2.24 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 1.03 pounds. Its solid height is 0.174 inches and the recommended hole diameter for installation is 0.188 inches. This type of precision compression spring is used by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and assembly technicians working on small mechanisms, valves, and light-duty equipment where consistent, repeatable spring force is required.

This compression spring is suited for light-load applications in small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, switches, and similar devices. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. Sold in packages of 10, it is practical for service kits, small assembly runs, and repair applications where a stock of identical springs is needed on hand.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• 0.18 inches outside diameter fits tight clearance and miniature assembly applications
• 2.24 pounds per inch spring rate provides consistent, predictable deflection
• 1.03 pounds maximum working load appropriate for light-duty actuation and valve use
• 0.016 inches wire diameter allows compact solid height of 0.174 inches
• Package quantity of 10 supports service kits and small-batch assembly needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for small mechanical assemblies, valves, switches, and instrumentation requiring a 0.18 inches outside diameter spring with a 0.75 inches free length. Verify hole diameter clearance of 0.188 inches and solid height of 0.174 inches against application requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians during assembly or repair of the target mechanism. Ensure the mating bore or housing diameter is compatible with the 0.188 inches recommended hole diameter before seating the spring. De-energize or depressurize any system before disassembling components to replace this spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during assembly, as this can cause permanent set and reduce service life.
