Attwood Marine Stainless Steel Gas Spring Rod

Attwood Marine stainless steel gas springs (also called gas struts, lift supports or gas shocks) are replacement lift supports built for boats and other moisture-prone applications. They hold hatches, lids and access panels open and help control how they move. Each spring has a stainless steel pressure tube and rod, and the exposed parts are stainless steel or marine-grade composite.

Key Features:

• Corrosion-resistant construction: The pressure tube and rod are made of #316 stainless steel alloy. The other exposed components are stainless steel or marine-grade composite.
• Made for saltwater: Suited to saltwater use and to other places where durability and appearance both matter.
• Environmentally conscious design: Attwood describes its stainless gas springs as using biodegradable, water-hazard-rated oil.
• Tested for durability: Attwood states that the springs pass ASTM B117 salt spray testing, Attwood's own salt spray test and a 30,000-cycle life test.
• Common uses: Livewells, line lockers, deck hatches, engine covers and other moisture-prone areas.

These springs work as direct replacements for worn or failed gas springs. Several lengths and force ratings are available in the product line, so you can match the spring to your hatch or lid.
