Value Collection 06810162 Compression Spring 0.12in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810162 is a small-diameter compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise load and deflection control are required. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches, a free length of 0.375 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.02 inches, this spring fits into tight spatial envelopes common in instrumentation, valves, latches, and small actuator mechanisms. The spring delivers a spring rate of 29.29 lb/in and handles a maximum work load of 3.4 lb. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is suited for repair shops, OEM assembly lines, and maintenance technicians who need reliable off-the-shelf compression springs in small sizes.

This spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies including HVAC equipment components, plumbing valve internals, electrical panel hardware, and general industrial applications. Its compact geometry makes it a practical choice for engineers and technicians sourcing replacement or prototype springs for confined assemblies. Typical installation scenarios include valve seats, button-return mechanisms, and small component retention systems. The solid height of 0.217 inches and a recommended hole diameter of 0.125 inches aid in fitment planning during assembly or replacement work.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits narrow bores and tight clearance applications
• Spring rate of 29.29 lb/in provides consistent, predictable load-deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 3.4 lb suitable for light-duty compression applications
• Wire diameter of 0.02 inches supports fine-pitch coil construction
• Solid height of 0.217 inches limits over-compression in confined assemblies
• Sold in packs of 10 for bench stock, repair kits, or small-run assembly needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter and 0.375-inch free length. Confirm hole diameter clearance of 0.125 inches and solid height of 0.217 inches against the target assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with spring-loaded component systems. Always relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or replacing a compression spring. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when handling small-diameter springs, as they can release energy rapidly if mishandled. Verify that the mating bore and retaining surfaces are free of burrs or debris before seating the spring to ensure consistent load performance.
