Value Collection 06812697 Compression Spring 0.72in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06812697 is a compression spring designed for light-to-medium-load mechanical applications. It features a 0.72-inch outside diameter and a 2.5-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.054 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 10.01 pounds and a spring rate of 5.64 pounds per inch, making it suitable for consistent, repeatable force applications. The solid height is 0.504 inches, and the recommended hole diameter for housing is 0.75 inches. This spring is typically installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or trade professionals working on equipment that requires controlled compression force.

This compression spring is suited for use in a range of residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, including HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, valves, pumps, and general industrial mechanisms. It is commonly used wherever a compact, open-coil compression spring is needed to provide return force or load resistance. The package quantity is 5 springs per pack, with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or trade technicians following applicable equipment service procedures. Always de-energize and depressurize the equipment before removing or replacing any spring component. Verify that the housing bore and spring seat dimensions match the spring OD and solid height before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
