How To Measure Your Gas Strut
We want to make replacing your gas strut as quick and easy as possible. Before placing your order, here are a few things to check:
- Extended Length: Measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other.
- Diameter: Measure across the rod and the canister.
- Force: Look for a number with an ‘N’ after it, like 300N.
- End Fittings: Our struts come with ball cup end fittings, either plastic or metal, depending on the diameter.
If you need help or have any questions, just let us know!
Step 1. Measure your Extended Length
This is measured from the centre of hole (end fitting) to the centre of hole (end fitting) when fully extended.
Step 2. Measure Diameter - Rod
Measure the diameter of the rod (mm).
Step 2. Measure Diameter - Canister
Measure the diameter of the canister (mm).
#Important Tip
Your strut diameter should be recorded as follows: Rod Diameter/Canister Diameter.
For example: If your Rod Diameter is 8mm and the Canister Diameter is 18mm, your struts diameter value is 8/18.
Step 3. Find Your Strut Force Value
Look for a number with an N after it eg 0150N
