Server Products 82016 Spring 3/8" DIA X 7" L

A mechanical tension component used inside commercial condiment dispensing pumps, this compression spring helps control the pump’s return and dispensing action. Measuring 3/8" in diameter and 7" in length, it provides the necessary resistance to ensure smooth and consistent product flow when the pump handle is pressed and released. It supports proper mechanical balance inside both old-style and new-style Server condiment pump assemblies operating in food service environments. Working as part of the pump’s internal mechanism, the spring helps maintain controlled dispensing pressure so sauces, dressings, and condiments are delivered in accurate portions. When the spring becomes worn or loses tension, the pump may feel loose, stick during operation, or dispense uneven amounts. Replacing it helps restore proper pump response and improves serving consistency. It is commonly used in restaurants, cafeterias, and commercial food stations where reliable condiment dispensing is required for fast and efficient service.

Equipment Compatibility:
