Value Collection 06812234 Compression Spring 0.48in Od 3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06812234 is a helical compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and general industrial applications. With a 0.48-inch outside diameter and a 3-inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 14.68 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 21.56 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.062 inches. These springs are sold in a package quantity of five, making them a practical option for technicians and maintenance professionals who need spares on hand or are servicing multiple units in a single visit.

This compression spring fits applications where a 0.48-inch OD spring fits inside a 0.5-inch hole diameter clearance. The 1.352-inch solid height and 3-inch free length make it appropriate for moderate-travel valve, latch, or plunger mechanisms in HVAC equipment, plumbing valves, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. The spring is well suited for both original-equipment replacement and new-build fabrication work where standard compression spring geometry is specified.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-geometry compression spring for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial applications requiring a 0.48-inch OD and 3-inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers as part of valve, latch, or actuator servicing. De-energize and depressurize the host system before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify the installed free length and solid height against the application requirement before finalizing assembly. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing loaded springs.
