The Whitecap 17" Gas Spring - 20lb - Black Nitrate (Model G-3620C) is a precision mechanical support component designed for use in equipment compartments, storage hatches, and tactical vehicle installations where controlled opening and closing are essential. Originally developed for marine and industrial applications, gas springs are now commonly used in law enforcement and military vehicles for accessing equipment doors and cargo panels.

This 17-inch gas spring features a 20-pound force rating, providing reliable and smooth actuation for operators in the field. Built with a black nitrate-finished rod and a sealed pressure cylinder, it utilizes inert nitrogen gas to deliver consistent force throughout its stroke length. The nitrate coating enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments, including high-humidity and coastal operations.
