Value Collection 03307873 Compression Spring 0.18in Od Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307873 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel, designed for applications that demand corrosion resistance and consistent load performance. With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches and a free length of 0.75 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 10.2 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 3.61 pounds. The 0.026-inch wire diameter and compact solid height of 0.382 inches make it suitable for tight-space installations across industrial, mechanical, and trade-service assemblies. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, assemblers, or field service professionals working on precision mechanical components.

This compression spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a small-format, corrosion-resistant spring is required. Typical use cases include valve assemblies, instrument housings, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical subassemblies requiring reliable return force in confined spaces. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. Sold in a package quantity of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet or chemically exposed environments
• Spring rate of 10.2 pounds per inch for predictable, repeatable load performance
• Maximum work load of 3.61 pounds suits light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Outside diameter of 0.18 inches fits hole diameters up to 0.188 inches (3/16 inches)
• Solid height of 0.382 inches minimizes compressed stack space in tight assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 10 to support service inventory and small-batch repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch outside diameter and 0.75-inch free length with a stainless steel material specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or housing diameter is within the specified hole diameter of 0.188 inches before seating the spring. Verify the assembly is fully depressurized or de-energized before replacing any spring components in valve or actuator applications. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.382 inches during installation.
