What this gas strut does

This 16 inch gas strut delivers 44 lbs of force per unit to hold open lids, hatches or windows on cars and RVs. It suits owners who need a single lift support for a panel weighing up to 44 lbs.

Installation steps and common mistake

Simple hand tools fit the 8 mm mounting holes in a few minutes. Do not compress the rod by hand before mounting; the strut only compresses after it is installed correctly.

Force rating that decides fit

Each strut provides 196 N (44 lbs) of pressure, so it matches panels that require exactly that lift capacity. Buyers needing more or less force must choose a different rating.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 16 inch strut is working correctly after mounting it?

Once installed the lid or cover should open and close smoothly without hand force and stay open at the 44 lbs rating across the -25 to 70 °C range

What comes in the package and what must I source separately?

The box contains one red gas strut with 8 mm mounting holes; you supply the mating brackets and fasteners for your lid or RV window

Which force rating should I select for my application?

Choose the 196 N / 44 lbs version when the hatch or window weighs up to 44 lbs per strut; heavier panels need a higher force model
