Value Collection 06811012 Compression Spring 0.3 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811012 is a small-diameter compression spring sold in a pack of 10. It is designed to provide a predictable resistive force along its axis when compressed, and it returns to its free length when the load is released. With an outside diameter of 0.3 inches, a free length of 0.75 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.035 inches, this spring suits precision mechanical assemblies where space is limited. The spring rate of 17.42 pounds per inch allows engineers and technicians to calculate deflection accurately under load. A maximum work load of 6.87 pounds defines the upper service limit before the spring approaches solid height.

This compression spring is suited for use in light-duty mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment assemblies. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, actuators, latches, switch contacts, and other assemblies requiring a compact return or biasing element. The small OD and short free length make it a practical choice for tight-clearance installations in both residential and commercial equipment. Each pack contains 10 springs, supporting low-volume repair work as well as bench-stock replenishment for service shops.

Key Features

• Free length of 0.75 inches with a solid height of 0.302 inches
• Wire diameter of 0.035 inches for consistent coil geometry
• Spring rate of 17.42 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 6.87 pounds before reaching solid height
• Sold in a pack of 10 to support service stock needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch OD and 0.75-inch free length form factor.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or plumbing specialists during valve or actuator servicing. Always de-energize or depressurize the system before replacing internal spring components. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or seating small springs. Confirm that the replacement spring matches the original free length, OD, and spring rate to maintain correct system operation.
