Value Collection 06812143 Compression Spring 0.48 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06812143 is a compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications requiring reliable axial load resistance. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 2.5 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 10.48 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 14.73 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.054 inches. The solid height measures 0.922 inches, making it suitable for installations with limited compressed clearance. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and MRO professionals working on HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, or light mechanical systems will find this a practical direct-fit option.

This compression spring is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where consistent return force and compact axial travel are needed. Typical applications include valve actuators, damper linkages, switch mechanisms, and general equipment assemblies. It is sold in a package quantity of five, making it convenient for bench stock or service kit replenishment. The recommended hole diameter for installation is 0.50 inches.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out all power or pressure sources before replacing springs in any mechanical assembly. Verify that the bore or guide rod dimensions match the spring OD and wire diameter to prevent binding or buckling under load. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing spring tension. Confirm solid height clearance is adequate for the full compression range of the application before finalizing installation.
