Value Collection 03308293 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308293 is a small-diameter stainless steel compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. It measures 0.42 inches in outside diameter with a 1-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.028 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 2.95 lb/in and handles a maximum work load of 2.22 pounds before reaching solid height. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. Mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assemblers typically source this type of spring for equipment repair or original-equipment fabrication work.

This compression spring fits applications where a small-bore, low-load return or tension-relief element is required. The 0.438-inch hole diameter fit and 0.171-inch solid height make it suitable for tight-clearance assemblies in valves, switches, latches, actuators, and general mechanical subassemblies. It is sold in packages of 10, which supports both single-use repair situations and small-batch production runs across industrial maintenance and trade environments.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 0.42-inch outside diameter fits 0.438-inch bore holes with minimal clearance
• 2.95 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable load response
• 0.028-inch wire diameter supports light to moderate compression loads up to 2.22 pounds
• 0.171-inch solid height allows compact installation in shallow assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 10 to support repair and production workflows

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or fabrication component for mechanical assemblies requiring a small-diameter compression spring with a 0.42-inch OD and 1-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals. Always de-energize or depressurize the assembly before removing or replacing springs. Use appropriate hand tools and safety glasses when compressing or seating the spring, as stored energy can cause sudden movement. Verify the free length, OD, and spring rate against the existing component specification before installation to confirm proper fitment.
