Whitecap 15" Gas Spring - 20lb - Stainless Steel

The Whitecap 15" Gas Spring – 20lb – Stainless Steel (model G-3320SSC) is a precision-engineered strut designed for equipment lids, hatches, and cabinet doors requiring controlled lifting and holding force. Built from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, this gas spring delivers reliable support in harsh tactical, maritime, and industrial environments where corrosion resistance and durability are non-negotiable. Whether securing hardcase equipment storage, vehicle access panels, or weapon safe lids in field operations, this 20-pound force strut provides predictable, consistent assistance through its entire stroke.

This gas spring features a 6mm rod diameter paired with a 15mm tube diameter, delivering optimal stress distribution and longevity under repetitive cycling. The 15-inch extended length compresses to 9.5 inches, making it ideal for applications requiring compact storage without sacrificing operational access. The 20-pound preload (P1 force rating) ensures controlled descent and lift resistance—sufficient for single-handed operation of moderately weighted panels without slamming or drift. The 316 stainless steel construction resists saltwater corrosion, chemical exposure, and temperature extremes, critical for overseas deployments, shipboard installations, and salt-air storage environments where standard steel would deteriorate rapidly.

Tactical teams, equipment managers, and vehicle maintainers benefit most from this strut's reliability in field conditions where equipment access must remain smooth under dust, sand, and moisture exposure. Installation is straightforward: mounting brackets are affixed to both the lid and frame, with the gas spring connecting via standard 8mm ball studs at each end. This Whitecap unit is compatible with any equipment featuring standard metric mounting points and load requirements between 15–25 pounds. For EOD containers, ammunition storage boxes, roof hatches, or secure case lids used in austere environments, this 20lb gas spring delivers professional-grade performance at competitive pricing.
