Value Collection 03309176 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03309176 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for applications requiring reliable axial load resistance across a defined deflection range. With a 0.975 inch outside diameter and a 2.5 inch free length, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4.9 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 9.16 pounds. The 0.062 inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals install compression springs like this in fluid control valves, HVAC equipment dampers, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies.

This compression spring is sized to fit inside a hole diameter of 1.0 inch, making it compatible with standard bored housings and valve bodies of that dimension. It is well suited for light-duty mechanical applications in residential and light commercial equipment where a consistent spring rate and moderate load capacity are required. The stainless steel material performs across a broad temperature range and resists moisture-related degradation, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service conditions.

Key Features

• 0.975 inch outside diameter fits precisely within 1.0 inch bore housings
• 2.5 inch free length with a compressed solid height of 0.418 inches
• Spring rate of 4.9 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection response
• Maximum work load rated at 9.16 pounds
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 0.062 inch wire diameter for consistent coil geometry and load distribution

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a compression spring with a 0.975 inch outside diameter, 2.5 inch free length, and 1.0 inch recommended hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. Always de-energize and depressurize the system before disassembling any spring-loaded valve, damper, or mechanical assembly. Verify the installed spring rate and load capacity match the original equipment specification before reassembly. Confirm the spring seats fully and squarely against both bearing surfaces to prevent lateral deflection under load.
