Value Collection 03308053 Compression Spring 0.3in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308053 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.3 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring delivers a spring rate of 7.72 lb/in and a maximum working load of 4.46 pounds. The wire diameter measures 0.032 inches, and the solid height is 0.334 inches. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for wet, humid, or outdoor environments. Maintenance technicians, equipment repair specialists, and industrial service professionals typically work with springs of this type during component overhaul and precision assembly tasks.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a compact, low-profile coil spring with a controlled spring rate. It is well suited for use in valves, switches, latches, pumps, and general mechanical assemblies found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and light industrial machinery. The 0.3125-inch hole diameter clearance spec helps guide proper bore fitment during installation. Sold in a package quantity of 10, this spring is a practical stocking item for facilities maintenance operations and service vans.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service environments
• Spring rate of 7.72 lb/in provides predictable, consistent load response

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty compression spring for use in valves, actuators, switches, latches, and general mechanical assemblies where a 0.3-inch OD, 1-inch free length coil spring with a 7.72 lb/in spring rate is specified.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assembly personnel. Always de-energize and depressurize the host equipment before disassembling spring-loaded components. Confirm the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.3125-inch hole diameter spec and that the compressed travel does not exceed the spring solid height of 0.334 inches to avoid coil bind. Handle small-diameter springs with care during installation to avoid distorting the coil geometry.
