Value Collection 03308525 Compression Spring 0.48in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308525 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a maximum load of 5.7 pounds and a spring rate of 4.2 pounds per inch. The 0.041-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction provide corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC controls, plumbing valves, electrical panels, and general mechanical assemblies will find this spring suitable for a range of light-tension actuation and return functions.

This compression spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a small-format return or bias spring is required. Typical uses include valve actuator assemblies, relay and contactor components, access panel latches, and similar mechanisms found in HVAC systems, plumbing assemblies, and control enclosures. The 0.5-inch hole diameter clearance makes it compatible with standard guide pin and bore configurations common in OEM and field-repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, assemblers, and service professionals working on mechanical subassemblies or control components. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid supply before servicing any valve or actuator assembly that contains this spring. Verify that the seating surfaces and guide pins are clean and free of debris before installing. Confirm that the spring rate and load rating match the design requirements of the assembly before use.
