Important Fitment Note: Verify the printed part number, approx. 2.44" pinhole-to-pinhole length, approx. 8.5" stroke, compressed length, 8 mm rod diameter, 85 lb force rating, and end fitting style before ordering. Gas springs are pressurized components and should not be opened, altered, heated, punctured, or used as universal design components without proper engineering verification.
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.
