Description
This ball stud gas closer is an 8 inch heavy-duty closer for bottom-hinged chute doors. It uses a compression gas spring, sometimes called a hydraulic closure. The gas spring gives a controlled opening force, so it helps intake doors that need assistance opening.
Specifications
This closer measures 15.6 inches when extended and 8.4 inches when compressed. It provides 30 lb of pressure. In addition, it uses ball socket end fittings with a spring clip. The closer rod has a black nitride finish, and the steel gas spring is nitride coated for durability.
Door Sizes It Fits
This part fits the following door sizes: 12 x 15, 14 x 17, and 15 x 15. Therefore, it suits many common bottom-hinged trash and laundry chute intake doors. Please match your door size to this list before you order. A photo of the measured product appears below this description.
