Attwood Stainless Steel Gas Spring ST34-120-5, 120 lb Force, 10mm Socket

The Attwood ST34-120-5 is a stainless steel gas spring designed to support and hold open boat hatches, lids, and covers. Gas springs like this one use a pressurized cylinder to counteract the weight of a hatch or lid, letting it open smoothly and stay in position without the user having to prop it open manually or fight against its weight while closing it.

This gas spring is rated at 120 pounds of force and uses a 10mm socket at its attachment point, matching common gas spring mounting hardware found on boat hatches and storage compartments. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in the marine environment, making it suitable for both saltwater and freshwater use on deck hardware that is regularly exposed to spray and humidity.

The ST34-120-5 is sized 20 x 12 inches and is intended as a direct-fit replacement or upgrade for boat hatch and lid applications using a gas spring of matching force rating and mounting configuration. It ships as a single gas spring unit, ready to be installed with compatible mounting hardware.
