Value Collection 06810428 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810428 is a small-diameter compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent, repeatable force over a short travel distance. The spring measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter with a 1-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 10.59 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 4.33 pounds. Sold in a pack of 10, this part suits technicians and assemblers who need reliable replacements or spares on hand for precision mechanisms, small actuators, or valve assemblies.

This compression spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a small-profile, low-load spring is required. Typical install scenarios include valve stem returns, switch mechanisms, instrument assemblies, and small actuator sub-assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. Its compact geometry fits confined spaces where larger springs cannot be used. The 10-piece packaging supports both single repairs and low-volume production needs without requiring bulk procurement.

Key Features

• 0.18 inch outside diameter suits tight-clearance bores and housings
• 1-inch free length with a compressed solid height of 0.43 inches
• Spring rate of 10.59 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear force response
• Maximum working load of 4.33 pounds keeps stress within safe operating range
• Wire diameter of 0.026 inches for fine-pitch coil construction
• Packed in quantities of 10 to support service work and small assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 1-inch free length form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or trade professionals as part of a sub-assembly repair or valve service. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment before disassembling the mechanism. Use appropriate hand tools and inspect the mating bore or rod for wear before seating the new spring. Verify that the installed spring is fully seated and that solid height clearance is maintained at maximum compression to prevent coil bind.
