Value Collection 06810204 Compression Spring 0.12 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810204 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and precision component applications. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 0.875 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 11.3 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 3.4 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.02 inches. Solid height measures 0.467 inches, and the recommended hole diameter for housing this spring is 0.125 inches. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service kits, maintenance stock, or low-volume assembly work.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a compact, low-load return or retention spring is needed. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, switches, latches, actuators, and small jigs or fixtures. Technicians working in HVAC controls, electrical assemblies, plumbing valve components, or general mechanical repair will find this spring fits common low-force spring positions requiring a tight outside diameter.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter and 0.875-inch free length profile.

Installation Notes

Install and replace compression springs as part of scheduled component maintenance or when a spring shows visible deformation, set, or loss of rated load capacity. Relieve all pressure and de-energize any associated system before removing or installing springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools and ensure the spring seats fully and concentrically within the housing bore before reassembly. Verify installed height and load against original equipment specifications before returning the assembly to service.
