The 17.2" 20 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, lids, hatches, storage compartments, and access panels.
With a 20-pound force rating, this gas strut provides moderate lifting assistance for applications that require reliable support without the additional resistance of a higher-force gas spring.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to attach to compatible 6mm x 15mm ball studs, providing a convenient connection for replacement and new installations.
Its 17.2-inch length provides additional reach compared with shorter gas struts, making it well suited for larger doors, lids, and access panels where the mounting points require a longer lift support.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible baggage doors, storage compartment doors, cabinet lids, access panels, and other hinged components requiring assisted opening and support.
For trailers, the gas strut may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailers.
The combination of a 17.2-inch length and 20-pound force rating can also make this gas spring useful for compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability with age and repeated use. When an existing compartment door, hatch, or lid begins to sag or no longer remains open, replacing the worn support with a properly matched gas spring can help restore the intended operation.
When selecting a replacement gas strut, it's important to match more than overall length. The force rating, extended and compressed dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry should all be verified.
Whether you're replacing a worn RV compartment lift support or installing a new trailer hatch, this 17.2" 20 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides an extended-reach solution for compatible lifting and support applications.
