Value Collection 03307931 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307931 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel, designed to provide consistent axial force in light-load mechanical assemblies. With a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 0.5 inch free length, and a 0.026 inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 9.67 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 2.77 pounds. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. This spring is suitable for use by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with valves, actuators, latches, or other small-component mechanisms.

This compression spring is sized for applications where tight dimensional tolerances and reliable load response are required in a compact form factor. The 0.25 inch hole diameter clearance makes it compatible with standard guided spring installations. Typical applications include HVAC damper actuator assemblies, plumbing valve components, electrical panel latching mechanisms, and general light-duty industrial hardware. Its small profile and stainless steel material make it well suited for both indoor and outdoor service environments where moisture exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• 0.24 inch outside diameter for compact, tight-space installations
• 9.67 pounds per inch spring rate provides consistent, predictable load response
• 2.77 pound maximum work load rated for light-duty mechanical applications
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 0.026 inch wire diameter with a solid height of 0.171 inches for precise compression travel
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 for bench stock and service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or maintenance stock compression spring suited for light-load guided spring applications with a 0.25 inch or smaller bore diameter across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical assembly service work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or trade professionals as part of a valve, actuator, or latch assembly service. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin dimensions are verified against the hole diameter and wire size before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated electrical or pneumatic components before disassembling the mechanism. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.171 inches during installation or operation.
