Value Collection 03307881 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307881 is a small-diameter stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and consistent spring force are required. With a 0.18 inch outside diameter, a 1 inch free length, and a 0.026 inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 8.82 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 3.61 pounds. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for use in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments where carbon steel would corrode. Technicians and assemblers working on precision equipment, valves, switches, or instrument mechanisms will find this spring a direct-fit replacement or original-spec component for similarly dimensioned applications.

This compression spring is applicable across a broad range of trade and industrial uses including HVAC control components, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical switch mechanisms, and general light-duty mechanical assemblies. The 0.43 inch solid height and 0.188 inch hole diameter make it compatible with small-bore cylindrical guides or posts. Sold in a package quantity of 10, this spring is practical to stock for service or assembly work where multiples are routinely consumed.

Key Features

• 0.18 inch outside diameter suits small-bore guides and valve cavities
• 1 inch free length with 0.43 inch solid height provides a defined compression range
• 8.82 pounds per inch spring rate delivers predictable, repeatable force output
• 3.61 pound maximum work load appropriate for light-duty mechanical actuation
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for efficient stocking and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 1 inch free length in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install this spring with the guide post or bore diameter closely matched to the 0.188 inch hole diameter specification to prevent buckling under load. De-energize or depressurize the assembly before replacing any spring component. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing spring tension. Verify the solid height clearance in the assembly before finalizing installation to avoid coil bind.
