How to Install Spring Filler
PVC spring filler is used to help reduce spring chatter to provide a quieter door operation. To install PVC spring filler into a larger ID spring, first the PVC is cut down to the proper length. For springs that have an ID of 5 7/8”and smaller, the PVC should be cut 2” shorter than the length of the spring. For springs with an ID greater than 5 7/8”, the PVC should be 1” shorter than the length of the spring. Once the PVC has been cut, it can be put inside the spring. Then the correct cones can be assembled on the ends.
