Unique-Bargains 17inch 35Lb Black Gas Strut Compressors 2pcs

SKU CH-TYQE-ZZRC0

Pair of 17-inch black gas struts, each rated at 35 lb, lift and hold heavy hatches on RVs, cars or boats

  • Holds heavy lids hands-free with 35 lb force per strut
  • Fits RV, car, boat and bus with universal 10 x 6 mm mounting holes
  • Installs in minutes using only basic hand tools
  • Durable metal construction with 18 mm housing and 8 mm rod
  • Compact 27.5 cm compressed length stores easily in tight spaces

Universal fit for RV car boat bus

These gas struts are designed as universal lift supports for RV, car, boat, bus and other vehicles. They install with simple hand tools in a few minutes and require no special equipment. The pair provides hands-free operation for heavy covers and barriers during repairs or daily use.

35Lb pressure limits per strut

Each strut delivers 35Lb of force, suitable for medium to heavy lids and panels. The 18mm housing and 8mm rod set the mechanical envelope, while the 10x6mm mounting holes define the attachment pattern. Force and geometry together determine the maximum panel weight the pair can safely hold open.

17 inch stroke with 10.83 inch compressed length

Extended length reaches 17 inches and compresses to 10.83 inches, giving a usable stroke for typical hatch and bonnet travel. The 15.5cm rod length and 17.72 inch total length provide the installation envelope. Buyers needing longer travel or higher force per strut will find the range exhausted here.

Questions about this item

Which version should I choose for a heavier hatch — the 35 Lb struts or a different pressure?

This kit contains two gas struts each rated at 35 Lb of force, giving 35 Lb per strut for medium to heavy lids on RVs, cars or boats.

What does the 17 inch extended length mean once the strut is fitted?

Fully extended the strut measures 43 cm (17 in) from centre to centre of the mounting holes, so the hatch or cover will open to that maximum distance.

What mounting interface do these use and what hardware fits the 10 mm by 6 mm holes?

Each end has a 10 mm by 6 mm rectangular hole (0.39 in by 0.24 in) that accepts a matching ball stud or bolt; the rod diameter is 8 mm (0.31 in) and the housing diameter is 18 mm (0.71 in).
