Value Collection 03308467 Compression Spring 0.48 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308467 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent return force in a compact form factor. With a 0.48-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch free length, this spring fits into standard half-inch bore holes and delivers a spring rate of 5.19 pounds per inch with a maximum load capacity of 3.62 pounds. The 0.035-inch wire diameter provides the coil structure needed for repeatable deflection under moderate cyclic loading. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals install this type of spring in valves, latches, switches, and related small mechanical components across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial applications.

This compression spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter, short-travel spring is required. Typical installation scenarios include valve actuators, control linkages, switch return mechanisms, and panel retention assemblies. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives. Each package contains 10 springs, making it practical for technicians who carry spares or service multiple units on a route.

Key Features

• 0.48-inch outside diameter fits standard 0.50-inch hole diameter for close-clearance seating
• 5.19 lb/in spring rate delivers predictable, linear resistance through the travel range
• 3.62-pound maximum work load rated for light-duty mechanical return and retention applications
• 0.035-inch wire diameter with 0.207-inch solid height for compact stack clearance
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for efficient field stocking and multi-unit service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression spring for small mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD, 1-inch free length spring with a 0.035-inch wire diameter.

Installation Notes

De-energize and depressurize the assembly before removing or installing any spring component. Confirm the bore diameter and free length of the original spring against these specifications before installation. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing spring tension. Ensure the spring seats fully and squarely in the bore to prevent lateral deflection under load.
