Value Collection 03308509 Compression Spring 0.48 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308509 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring delivers a spring rate of 8.77 pounds per inch and supports a maximum working load of 5.7 pounds. The 0.041-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it well suited for environments where corrosion resistance and consistent spring force are required. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals are the typical installers for this type of component.

This compression spring fits into a hole diameter of 0.5 inches and compresses to a solid height of 0.268 inches, making it appropriate for compact assemblies with limited travel space. Typical applications include valve assemblies, switches, latches, plumbing components, and light-duty mechanical devices in both residential and commercial settings. It is available in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for service kits or small production runs.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize and depressurize any system before disassembling the component housing. Use appropriate hand tools and wear eye protection, as compressed springs can release stored energy unexpectedly during removal or installation. Verify that the replacement spring rate and load rating match the design requirements of the assembly before installation.
