Fast delivery Struts For Car Hood - Gas Spring End Fittings & Bracket – Tieying

Our range of end-fittings can be used with our gas springs and M-struts. The thread on our end-fittings is a metric thread and can therefore be used for other purposes as well. Also, our selection of end-fittings usually includes  stainless steel, stainless steel 316 and galvanized options. We offer a few options made in plastic. We do not recommend using these under high pressure or with traction gas springs.

Ball-joint

The ball joint is available in stainless steel (304 and 316), plastic or galvanized versions. Please note that we do not recommend using plastic fittings with traction gas springs.

Ball-socket

The ball socket is available in stainless steel (304 and 316), plastic or galvanized versions. Please note that we do not recommend using plastic fittings with traction gas springs.

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.
