Value Collection 03308392 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308392 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent, repeatable force along a linear axis. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a maximum load capacity of 6.47 pounds and a spring rate of 6.93 pounds per inch. The 0.041-inch wire diameter provides the appropriate balance of flexibility and load resistance for its rated performance envelope. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is suitable for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a factor. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and field service personnel are the typical installers for this type of component.

This compression spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, latching hardware, HVAC damper linkages, and general instrumentation applications. Its 0.438-inch hole diameter fit and 0.579-inch solid height make it practical for space-constrained installations. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit, it is well-suited for shops and service fleets maintaining stock of common spring sizes for field repairs and bench assembly work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 6.93 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear force response
• 6.47 pound maximum work load rating
• 0.42 inch outside diameter fits standard 0.438 inch bore holes
• 0.579 inch solid height allows compact installation in tight assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock and field service kits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for general mechanical, valve, and instrumentation applications requiring a 0.42 inch outside diameter and 2 inch free length in a stainless steel format.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel as part of bench assembly or field repair work. Relieve all mechanical tension and de-energize any associated equipment before removing or installing compression springs. Verify the mating bore diameter and rod clearance match the spring outside diameter and solid height before finalizing the assembly. Standard hand tools and spring installation aids are typically sufficient for this spring size.
