147N Red Gas Strut for Lids and Windows
This 12-inch gas strut delivers 147 newtons of force to hold open hatches, cabinet doors or camper windows. It suits automotive, RV and marine applications where a single strut must support up to 33 pounds. The red metal housing resists corrosion in interior and exterior environments.
Ball-socket brackets and 10mm mounting holes
Two included brackets with 10 by 6 millimetre installation holes let you bolt the strut to flat surfaces using the five 3-millimetre screws supplied. The 6-millimetre connecting rod and 15-millimetre housing diameter fit standard lift-support geometry. No special tools are needed, but the strut must not be compressed by hand before it is mounted.
Adjustable soft-close speed
After installation the damping rate can be tuned so the lid or window closes slowly rather than slamming. The unit operates reliably from minus 25 to plus 70 degrees Celsius. It is not intended for loads heavier than 33 pounds per strut or for applications requiring a longer stroke than the 12-inch extended length.

Questions about this item
What force does the 147N gas strut exert and what weight can it hold?
Each strut exerts 147 newtons, equivalent to 33 lbs or 15 kg, and can hold open a 33 lb lid or panel individually.
What mounting hardware and hole pattern are needed to install the strut?
The kit includes two mounting brackets with 10x6 mm installation holes and five 3 mm diameter screws for fastening.
How do I install the strut without damaging it, and what is the common mistake to avoid?
Mount the brackets first, then attach the strut; never compress the rod by hand before installation, as it can only be compressed after the strut is securely fitted.
