The 20" 10 lb Gas Strut Lift Support provides controlled lifting and holding assistance for compatible doors, lids, hatches, storage compartments, and access panels requiring a longer gas spring with relatively light lifting force.
With a 10-pound force rating, this gas strut is designed for lightweight applications where gentle lifting assistance is needed without the resistance of a higher-force gas spring.
The strut features 10mm socket-style ends designed to attach to compatible 6mm x 15mm ball studs, providing a straightforward mounting configuration for replacement and new installations.
Its 20-inch length provides considerably more reach than shorter gas struts, making it useful for larger but lightweight doors, lids, and panels where mounting locations require a longer lift support.
For RVs and motorhomes, potential applications include compatible storage compartment doors, cabinet lids, access panels, lightweight baggage doors, and other hinged components requiring assisted opening and support.
For trailers, this gas spring may be suitable for compatible cargo trailers, enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, concession trailers, and specialty trailer applications.
The combination of a 20-inch length and low 10-pound force rating can also make this strut useful for compatible automotive, truck, marine, industrial, utility, and specialty-equipment applications where longer travel is needed without excessive lifting pressure.
Gas struts can gradually lose pressure and lifting ability with age and repeated operation. When a door, hatch, or lid begins to sag or no longer stays open, replacing the worn lift support with a correctly matched gas spring can help restore its intended operation.
For replacement applications, matching overall length alone isn't enough. The force rating, compressed and extended dimensions, socket size, ball-stud dimensions, mounting locations, and installation geometry should all be verified.
Whether you're replacing an existing RV compartment strut or adding lift assistance to a lightweight trailer hatch, this 20" 10 lb Gas Strut with 10mm Socket Ends provides extended reach with gentle lifting support.

Applications & Compatibility
Designed for compatible applications requiring a 20-inch, 10-pound gas strut with 10mm socket ends and 6mm x 15mm mounting studs.
Potential applications include RV compartment doors, motorhome storage compartments, trailer hatches, storage lids, cabinet doors, access panels, lightweight equipment covers, automotive compartments, utility equipment, and specialty vehicles.
The combination of a 20" length and 10 lb force rating makes this version particularly useful when an application requires greater reach while maintaining relatively light lifting pressure.
Fitment Note: Gas-strut compatibility depends on the complete installation. Verify the 20" length, 10 lb force rating, 10mm socket ends, 6mm x 15mm stud requirements, compressed length, extended length, mounting points, and installation geometry before ordering.
