    Clips

    Made from stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance in damp environments. Thread these ball socket end fittings onto gas springs. They rotate in any direction on a ball stud to compensate for misalignment. Ball socket end fittings require a ball stud or ball stud mounting bracket (sold separately) to mount gas springs; they have a safety clip for secure attachment.
    Select end fittings with a thread size that matches the rod and end thread sizes of your gas spring. The fittings will increase your gas spring's extended and compressed lengths, so add the Length 1 value for each fitting you attach.
    316 Stainless Steel—316 stainless steel end fittings are more corrosion and chemical resistant than 18-8, 303, and 304 stainless steel end fittings. They can be used in environments with salt water.

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Gas Spring End Fittings. Snap-On Ball Socket Gas Spring End Fittings , Zinc-Plated Steel.

    Zinc-Plated Steel

    These end fittings snap right on a ball stud—an integral retaining clip grips the ball stud for secure attachment until you apply enough force to pop it off. Thread these ball socket end fittings onto gas springs. They rotate in any direction on a ball stud to compensate for misalignment. End fittings require a ball stud or ball stud mounting bracket (sold separately) to mount gas springs.
    Select end fittings with a thread size that matches the rod and end thread sizes of your gas spring. The fittings will increase your gas spring's extended and compressed lengths, so add the Length 1 value for each fitting you attach.
    Glass-Filled Nylon—Glass-filled nylon fittings reduce noise and vibration, are lightweight, and resist chemicals better than steel fittings do. They’re not as strong as steel fittings, however, so they’re typically used in lighter duty applications.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—Zinc-plated steel fittings are stronger than glass-filled nylon fittings—it takes more force to accidentally dislodge them. They’re heavier, though, and more likely to corrode over time as the plating wears down.
