Whitecap 10 in 40 lb 316 Stainless Gas Spring

The Whitecap 10 in stainless gas spring is designed to provide a 40 lb rated force for a compatible hatch or lid. Its 316 stainless steel construction suits exposed hardware applications. A gas spring needs to be chosen by both force and geometry rather than length alone.

The extended length is 10 in and the compressed length is 7 in. Whitecap lists a 6 mm rod diameter and a 15 mm tube diameter. These measurements help compare the unit with an existing spring before replacement.

Check the attachment points and the motion of the hatch over its full travel. A spring with the wrong force or compressed length may not operate correctly in the same space. Match the specified rating to the equipment's actual requirements. Mounting the spring at the wrong angle can alter the force felt at the lid.
