SPRINGFIXUK / 800N · 500MM

2x 800N Gas Struts 500mm 200mm Stroke 8mm Eye Ends

Matched pair of 800N gas struts (gas springs / lift supports) with a 500mm eye-to-eye extended length, 200mm stroke and 8mm eye-end fittings on both ends. Typically suited to double ottoman beds and medium-weight platforms. 1 quantity = 2 gas struts.

Before ordering: match all four specifications
Force 800N, extended length 500mm, stroke 200mm and 8mm eye ends. Fully extend your old strut and measure from the centre of one eye hole to the centre of the other. Gas struts are not universal: a different length will not fit correctly even if the force matches. We also stock 340mm, 360mm and 535mm ottoman struts, so please check the length.

Choosing the correct force
The safest choice is the N-rating printed on your existing struts. If the lid is hard to lift, go one step higher; if it springs up too fast or will not stay closed, go one step lower. This 500mm strut is available in 600N, 800N, 1000N and 1200N.

Typical applications

Ottoman storage beds and divan lift-up bases using 500mm eye-end struts
Lift-up bed mechanisms and storage platforms
Custom storage bed and box-lid builds

Installation and safety

Support the lid or bed platform independently before removing or fitting a strut
Install with the thin piston rod pointing downwards
Always replace both struts together and never mix old and new or different forces
Do not open, heat, drill or modify the struts and do not remove the warning label
