	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Leg Specifications


	Leg Angle:		Straight, parallel on the same side are considered 0°. Increasing angle is in the unwinding direction.
	Your choices are...
	0°		Corresponds to N+1/2 coil turns.
	45°		Corresponds to N+3/8 coil turns.
	90°		Corresponds to N+1/4coil turns.
	135°		Corresponds to N+1/8 coil turns.
	180°		Corresponds to N coil turns.
	225°		Corresponds to N+7/8 coil turns.
	270°		Corresponds to N+3/4 coil turns.
	315°		Corresponds to N+5/8 coil turns.
	Other Angle		Any unlisted angle.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Equal Leg Length?		Both legs have equal length.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

	Leg End Style
	Your choices are...
	Straight Torsion		Ends emerge straight from spring helix.
	Straight Offset		Ends bend and run out from spring parallel to spring axis.
