Value Collection KP150158 Compression Spring 7/16 in Od 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP150158 is a compression spring manufactured from spring steel, designed to store and release mechanical energy under axial load. With an outside diameter of 7/16 inches and a free length of 1-7/8 inches, this spring suits compact assemblies where precise load resistance is required. The wire diameter measures 0.0350 inches, and the spring rate is 3.02 pounds per inch, making it appropriate for light-duty mechanical applications. Sold in a pack of five, this spring is a practical stock item for maintenance shops, OEM assembly lines, and field service technicians who regularly source small mechanical hardware.

This compression spring is used across a wide range of light mechanical and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment components, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical enclosure latches, and general-purpose machinery. Its modest outside diameter and free length make it well suited for use in tight spring pockets or where small form factor is a design requirement. Technicians and assemblers working on equipment that calls for a light-rate compression spring in this size range will find this a practical off-the-shelf replacement or stocking option.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 7/16 inches fits compact spring pockets and housings
• Free length of 1-7/8 inches provides consistent unloaded height for reliable assembly
• Spring rate of 3.02 pounds per inch delivers predictable, light-duty load response
• Wire diameter of 0.0350 inches offers appropriate wall strength for the spring rate
• Spring steel construction provides durability under repeated compression cycles
• Pack of five supports stocking and small-batch assembly needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 7/16-inch OD and 1-7/8-inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or maintenance technicians as part of component replacement or equipment assembly. Ensure the mating spring pocket or guide rod is dimensionally compatible with the 7/16-inch OD before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment before servicing spring-loaded components. Avoid over-compressing the spring beyond its solid height, as doing so can cause permanent set and loss of rated spring force.
