With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 0.75 inches, this spring fits in tight assemblies where space is limited. It carries a maximum work load of 3.62 pounds and a spring rate of 7.11 pounds per inch, making it suitable for consistent, repeatable force applications. The 0.035-inch wire diameter provides the structural integrity needed for controlled deflection under load. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, valves, and general mechanical systems routinely use springs of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used in residential and light commercial applications where a small-format spring is required to maintain pressure, return a component to position, or cushion mechanical movement. Common install scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator return mechanisms, control linkages, and equipment access panels. The 0.50-inch hole diameter clearance and 0.17-inch solid height make this spring compatible with compact spring pockets and close-tolerance bores. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it suits both single-repair and small-batch stocking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.48-inch outside diameter fits standard small-bore spring pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7.11 lb\/in spring rate delivers consistent, predictable force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.62-pound maximum work load suits light-duty mechanical and valve applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.17-inch solid height allows use in tight axial spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 10 for convenient bench-stock replenishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service part for light-duty compression spring applications in mechanical assemblies, valve bodies, and control linkages where a 0.48-inch OD, 0.75-inch free length stainless steel spring is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or field service professionals. Always de-energize equipment and relieve any system pressure before disassembling spring-loaded components. Confirm that the replacement spring matches the required outside diameter, free length, wire diameter, and spring rate before installation. Inspect the spring seat and bore for wear or damage that could affect spring performance or seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.11 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.62 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03308459\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697837900082,"sku":"03308459","price":21.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f989ef0d795564e21c7efa7469d0c089.jpg?v=1788354846","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-03308459-compression-spring-0-48in-od-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
