Value Collection 03308194 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308194 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant spring element. With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 4.19 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 4.82 pounds. The 0.035-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and general industrial or trade applications where rust resistance and consistent force output are required.

This compression spring fits into a hole diameter of 0.375 inches and collapses to a solid height of 0.559 inches, making it well suited for tight-clearance assemblies. Typical use cases include HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve mechanisms, electrical enclosure latches, and general mechanical sub-assemblies where a small-format spring with predictable load characteristics is needed. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Spring rate of 4.19 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Maximum work load of 4.82 pounds suitable for light-duty mechanical applications
• 0.36-inch outside diameter fits standard 0.375-inch hole diameters
• Compact solid height of 0.559 inches allows use in confined assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock or multi-unit repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch OD, 2-inch free length spring with a 0.375-inch recommended hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanics, technicians, or trade professionals as part of a sub-assembly repair or build. Ensure the mating bore or housing diameter is within tolerance of the 0.375-inch hole diameter specification before installation. De-energize or depressurize any system before removing or replacing spring components. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.559 inches, as this can permanently deform the coils and alter load characteristics.
