Euplokeer 20in Gas Struts (2-Pack) 80lb/356N — Universal Replacement with Mounting Brackets for RV Hatch & Tanning Bed

Euplokeer Qty (2) 20-inch gas struts (80 lb / 356 N) with mounting brackets provide reliable lift and hold for RV compartments, boat hatches, tanning beds and similar lids. These two gas shock supports are designed as direct-fit replacements or upgrades for a wide range of applications, from motorhome bed mechanisms to storage compartment doors and marine hatches. Each set includes two 20.00-inch extended gas springs rated at 80 pounds (356 N), plus the mounting hardware you need to install them quickly. The listing emphasizes interchange compatibility and simple selection guidance so you can match these struts to your existing cylinders.

How do these gas struts match my original parts?

Match by comparing the OEM interchange numbers, extended length, and force rating printed on your current struts. Euplokeer provides a long compatibility list of equivalent part numbers to make cross-referencing straightforward, and the 20-inch extended length and 80 lb force are clearly specified.

• Compare OE/interchange numbers before buying (many equivalents listed).
• Measure the extended length of your old cylinder (20.00 inches for this set).
• Confirm the required pound-force — this set is rated 80 lb / 356 N each.

What comes in the box and how easy is installation?

Each package contains two gas struts, two L-shaped brackets, two flat-bottomed brackets and 16 screws so you have everything for typical mounting jobs. Installation is designed to be simple and can be completed with basic tools such as a flat-head screwdriver for snap-on ball studs or bolt-on bracket attachment points.

• 2 gas springs (20-inch extended, 80 lb each).
• 2 L-brackets, 2 flat-bottom brackets, and 16 screws included.
• Snap-on ball-stud style mounting compatible with 10mm studs; basic hand tools required.

Where are these gas struts commonly used and what loads do they support?

They are built for multi-purpose use on RV furniture, bed lift systems, boat hatches, outside kitchen doors, storage lids, and tanning beds. Each shock produces about 80 pounds of push force, which suits medium-weight lids and panels that require controlled opening and secure holding.

• Motorhome queen-standard beds and lift mechanisms.
• RV compartment doors, outside kitchen lids, and basement access panels.
• Boat hatches, engine covers, wooden box lids, and tanning bed parts.

How do I choose the right strength and ensure longevity?

Pick a strut that matches the original pound rating and extended length; do not undersize or oversize. Regularly check mounting brackets and ball studs for wear, keep the piston rod clean and free of debris, and avoid compressing or modifying the cylinder to preserve gas pressure and sealing.

• Select by OEM number, extended length, and pound-force equivalence.
• Inspect mounting points periodically and tighten hardware as needed.
• Do not weld, heat, or compress the cylinder beyond its intended range.
