Value Collection 03308335 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308335 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact envelope. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches, a free length of 1 inch, and a wire diameter of 0.035 inches, this spring fits into tight clearance holes and assemblies where precise spring rates matter. The spring rate of 6.19 pounds per inch and maximum load capacity of 4.17 pounds make it well-suited for instrumentation, valve assemblies, small actuators, and similar components. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and equipment service professionals typically work with springs of this type.

This compression spring is applicable across a broad range of light industrial and trade-service scenarios, including HVAC control mechanisms, plumbing valve components, electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical assemblies. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid or wet service environments, making it a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor equipment. The solid height of 0.247 inches ensures the spring compresses within a controlled travel range, preventing coil bind in properly designed assemblies.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation in demanding service environments
• Spring rate of 6.19 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable force throughout travel
• Outside diameter of 0.42 inches fits a recommended hole diameter of 0.438 inches (7/16 inch)
• Maximum work load of 4.17 pounds with a compact 1-inch free length
• Wire diameter of 0.035 inches for precise, tightly wound coil geometry
• Solid height of 0.247 inches limits travel and prevents coil bind in matched assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring suitable for use in light mechanical assemblies, control components, and equipment requiring a 0.42-inch OD spring with a 1-inch free length and 6.19 pounds-per-inch rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or equipment service professionals using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or guide rod is dimensioned to the recommended hole diameter of 0.438 inches for proper seating. De-energize or depressurize any system before replacing internal spring components. Avoid over-compressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.247 inches, as doing so can cause permanent set or coil damage.
