It is designed to replace the hydraulic piston on 99 percent of standard office, task, executive, salon chairs and rolling stools. The part restores height adjustment without purchasing a new chair. Verify your base dimensions before ordering.

Heavy-Duty Capacity for Demanding Users

The Class 4 piston supports up to 450 lbs and meets BIFMA Plus Quality standards for durability. It suits heavier individuals who need a long-lasting replacement. Users with lighter chairs that accept lower-class cylinders or non-standard mounting patterns should look elsewhere.

5 Inch Stroke Defines Travel Range

The cylinder provides a 5 inch stroke with a fully expanded height of 16.2 inch and a fully compressed height of 11.6 inch. This exact travel distance determines whether the seat height range matches your desk and body dimensions. Confirm these measurements against your current cylinder before purchase.
