Value Collection 03308277 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308277 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring consistent, reliable axial force. With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 11.02 lb/in and a maximum work load of 10.91 pounds. The 0.047-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it well suited for environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency matter. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and assembly professionals working across HVAC, plumbing, industrial, and general mechanical applications will find this spring a straightforward OEM-style replacement or new-build component.

This compression spring fits into assemblies with a hole diameter of 0.375 inches (3/8 inch), making it compatible with standard bore housings in that size range. It reaches a solid height of 0.906 inches under full compression. Typical applications include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, equipment latches, and spring-loaded component retention systems found in light commercial and residential mechanical equipment. These springs are sold in a package quantity of 10, making them practical for bench stock or multi-unit service calls.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch OD, 2-inch free length, and 0.375-inch hole diameter. No specific equipment model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Install and remove compression springs only after de-energizing or de-pressurizing the host assembly in accordance with applicable equipment service procedures. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing the spring during installation. Verify the installed free length and solid height against the assembly's design tolerances before returning equipment to service. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for any torque or retention requirements specific to the host assembly.
