Commercial Kitchen Plumbing Springs

Springs are mechanical devices with the capability to store and release energy, enabling them to absorb shock, resist force, and revert to their original form after undergoing compression, stretching, or twisting. Various types of springs exist, each crafted to fulfill specific purposes. Compression Spring: Engineered to withstand compression, compression springs are utilized in applications such as faucets, valves, and plumbing fixtures, providing a tight seal. In appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and deep fryers, these springs can be employed in areas like oven door hinges to securely maintain closure, preserving heat inside.

A compression spring is characterized by its cylindrical shape and open-coil structure. When subjected to force, it compresses; upon force removal, it reverts to its initial state. The spring's strength is determined by factors such as wire diameter, coil diameter, and the number of coils. Door Spring: Door springs play a crucial role in regulating the opening and closing of doors, ensuring secure closure when not in use. Commonly found in appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and storage cabinets, door springs, for instance, contribute to keeping refrigerator doors closed to retain cold air. The design of a door spring typically involves a coiled wire mounted on a hinge. As the door opens, the spring stretches; upon release, it returns to its original position, facilitating door closure. Door springs are available in varying strengths, tailored to the weight and size of the door.
