  • Universal fit for RV, car, boat and bus
  • 40 lb pressure per strut holds heavy covers hands-free
  • 17 inch extended length gives 10.83 inch compressed travel
  • Metal construction with M8x1.25 threads for lasting strength

Universal fit for RV, car and boat

This pair of black gas struts suits RV, car, boat and bus applications where a medium to heavy lid or hatch needs hands-free support. Each strut delivers a 40 lb force rating and extends to 43 cm with a compressed length of 27.5 cm. The metal construction is designed for long-lasting use and the kit includes all mounting hardware.

Verify mounting geometry before ordering

Confirm the hole spacing of 10 mm by 6 mm matches your existing brackets and that the M8 x 1.25 thread is compatible with the supplied screws. The connecting rod diameter is 8 mm and the housing diameter is 18 mm, so check clearance around the pivot points. Total assembled length reaches 45 cm, so ensure the installation space accommodates the full stroke.

Thermals noise and power draw

Gas struts operate without electrical power, so there is no heat generation, fan noise or current draw to consider. The sealed cylinder maintains consistent 40 lb pressure across normal temperature ranges. No maintenance or external energy source is required during everyday use.
