| 85 lb Force Rating | Designed for lift-support applications requiring an 85 lb pressure rating |

R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: This gas strut is intended for exact-replacement style applications where the part number and measurements match. Verify before ordering.
Vehicle / System Fit: Suitable for compatible trailer, RV, camper, hatch, lid, compartment door, trunk, and lift-support applications that require the listed measurements and force rating.
Installation Notes: Support the door, lid, hatch, or panel before removing the old gas strut. Gas springs are pressurized and should not be opened, cut, heated, or modified.
Performance Insight: The 85 lb rating is the force output of this strut. Using a lower rating may not hold the panel open, while a higher rating may make the panel difficult to close or overload the mounting points.
