Value Collection 03308517 Compression Spring 0.48in Od Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308517 is a stainless steel compression spring rated for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. It features an outside diameter of 0.48 inches, a free length of 1.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.041 inches. The spring delivers a spring rate of 5.68 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 5.7 pounds. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. Maintenance technicians, assemblers, and field service professionals working with light-duty mechanisms, valves, or actuator assemblies are the typical end users for this part.

This compression spring fits applications where a compact, low-load return or biasing force is needed. Common use cases include valve assemblies, flow controls, small actuators, latching mechanisms, and light-duty industrial equipment. The 0.5-inch hole diameter and 0.37-inch solid height make it suitable for guided-pin installations where close tolerances matter. It is sold in packages of 10 units, making it practical for service stock or bench repair use.

Key Features

• Maximum working load of 5.7 pounds suits light-duty mechanical applications
• Outside diameter of 0.48 inches fits standard 0.5-inch guide holes
• Compact solid height of 0.37 inches allows use in space-constrained assemblies
• Sold in packs of 10 for efficient bench stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock compression spring for light-duty valve, actuator, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD and 1.5-inch free length with a 5.68 pounds per inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers as part of component-level repair or new assembly work. De-energize and depressurize any system before removing or replacing springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Confirm the guide pin or bore diameter matches the 0.5-inch hole diameter specification before installation to prevent spring buckling or binding. Inspect the mating seat and guide surfaces for wear or burrs that could affect spring seating and load performance.
