Value Collection 03308368 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308368 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring precise load control in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches, a free length of 0.50 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.041 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 23.52 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 6.47 pounds. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where exposure to moisture or mild chemicals is a concern. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment requiring small compression springs will find this part fits common light-load applications.

This compression spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, instrumentation housings, valve assemblies, and similar equipment where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is required. With a solid height of 0.19 inches and a recommended hole diameter of 0.438 inches (7/16 inches), the spring fits within standard bore dimensions common to many general mechanical and HVAC-adjacent assemblies. Sold in packages of 10, this part is practical for service shops and technicians maintaining inventories of common hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or service professionals as part of an assembly or repair procedure. Depressurize or de-energize any system before disassembling spring-loaded components. Use appropriate hand tools and ensure the spring is seated fully and squarely in the bore or on the guide pin before reassembly. Confirm that the replacement spring rate and load specifications match the original equipment requirements before installation.
