Value Collection 03308376 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308376 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring provides a spring rate of 10.71 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 6.47 pounds. The 0.041-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it resistant to corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, valve mechanisms, and general mechanical systems will find this spring a reliable replacement or component option.

This compression spring fits applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is needed in confined housings. The 0.42-inch outside diameter is suited for installation in holes up to 0.4375 inches (7/16 inch) in diameter. The 0.319-inch solid height keeps the compressed footprint minimal, making it practical for tight assemblies found in actuators, pressure valves, pump housings, and similar mechanical components in residential and light commercial trade applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or component compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.42-inch OD, 1-inch free length, stainless steel spring with a 10.71 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or plumbers during valve, actuator, or equipment assembly. Always de-energize and depressurize the system before replacing or installing compression springs in pressurized assemblies. Verify the bore diameter, free length, and spring rate against the original component specification before installation to confirm proper fitment and load characteristics.
